I just went to look at them and they are showing the Tele as 'in stock'??Originally Posted by Gil Janus
Search samash.com for "Squier Classic Vibe" - they are listed - not yet available. All 4 of them are $299.99 each - $499.99 MSRP.
'50s Tele in Vintage Blonde/Black - Pine
'60s Strat in 2-Color Sunburst/White - Alder
'50s P-Bass in Lake Placid Blue/White - Basswood
'60s J-Bass in Olympic White/Tortoise Shell - Basswood
Yikes! Not yet on the Squier website.
The Tele looks very nice - 9.5" neck, 21-frets, Pine body covered in Vintage Blonde, 5-hole black pickguard, and what appears to be a Vintage style bridge with Brass Saddles and looks string-thru. Pickups are AlNiCo III.

I saw this over on the Fender Forum and I was wondering if it is just a sam ashe special edition. I have not seen it on the Squier site yet. I would like to know more about the pickups. They sound like the ones on the Standard seriies. They had the staggered Alnicos as well.
I really don't need another Strat but you never know.

Man, that Pine Tele is giving me serious GAS. Sheesh, Squier, whydja have to release these when I'm low on fundage?

Ibanez RG 570 with a bridge Invader

About time they put a proper vintage bridge and brass saddles on the Squiers.
Very very nice, I will add that to my GAS list.

Anyone wanna buy a first born child or something? This would keep me happy for a few years.
Beautiful.
Just called the GAS station $699 Australian. Sometimes I wish I still had a job.

WOW!!
GAS Attack Alert!!
The Tele looks fantastic; just like the early Esquires, and made of pine to boot! :
I believe this line will be the best selling Squier line of guitars, since the Squier 51. As soon as they arrive in Europe, I'm getting a Tele.
The P-Bass (or Tele-bass) in LPB looks gorgeous too!

Not good. New guitars bad. I.........must.........re........sist........argh!:
"No Tele For you." - The Tele Nazi
Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Please!...Lash me to the mast that I might hear the Siren's beautiful song, yet be powerless to act upon it...
Just what we, the weak of resolve need....more inexpensive offerings from Squire to feed our GAS fires. It would be one thing if they were just cheaply made starter guitars for kids, but their quality in now well within the boundaries of temptation.
Arrghhh...
I checked with my tech and he emailed Fender Canada. They have them in stock up here and I have one of the 2 color burst Strats coming in next week. I will report on what it is like. The beauty of this deal is if I don't like it, he will put it in the store for sale. The price is a little higher here and I asked about the pickups. He seems to think they are the same as the Standard so a 100 bucks for tinted neck and stamped saddles seem a little rich.
He is doing some digging for me with Fender to find out if they are the same as the Standard. I will see what he finds out.
I wish you guys would stop this, I already have 8 Strats!
