Squier Contemp Tele RH MNPW

amazing guitar - outstanding after upgrading

looks and sounds amazing right out of the box, however, after some upgrades, it is just beyond compare. Neck is really smooth, the finish is impeccable.

upgrades:

-graphtech tusq nut and stringtree

-elixir strings

-DiMarzio DP384BK bridge pickup

-SD Mark Holcomb Alpha Neck 6 pickup

-2x CTS 500k audio taper pots

-0.22nF Vitamin T Oil Cap

-switchcraft jack

-schaller 5 way mega switch

n.b. the mini pots, 3 way switch and input jack originally in the guitar were cheap, but the soldering was done really well and i had no issues whatsoever.

n.b.2 the issue with the bridge not having a good connection to the grounding cable due to paint as highlighted in some youtube videos i've seen was already fixed, the paint was removed on the back side of the bridge and the guitar had no grounding issues.

Bottom line, I do recommend this guitar, especially since it's a perfect platform for future upgrades.

Fast delivery, in top condition. Money well spent!

Amazing

I'm very pleasently surprised with this telecaster, it's my first squier guitar and Idk where to start, I didn't have high expectations but I was blown away, this gem punches WAY above it's weight I'd pay 800-1000 for it tbh.

I'm gonna start with the build, when I took it out of the box I didn't expect it to be as heavy as it is, it has a nice weight to it and feels premium to me. Also it was setup perfectly out of the box which was also surprising.

It looks really good, the finish is awesome and the contrast of the white body and black hardware is a match made in heaven.

The neck is the best I've ever played, the roasted maple feels really nice and it's easy to play. The frets are super nice and smooth, the pickups are perfect imo, the rail humbucker is hot and it sounds great played through my boss katana.

Even the tuners are good, they hold it in tune well. Better than my epiphone les paul especially on the G string.

All in all it's a very very nice guitar and I highly recommend, super underrated and underpriced. It will for sure appreciate in price with time once more people know about it.

GREAT INSTRUMENT

The guitar is sooo beautiful! Came with a super low action with 9 strings, flawless and it is so fun to play! Great sound and so light that makes it ideal for live shows!!❤️

So happy with this purchase!!!

A great guitar for all genres of music!

Excellent craftsmanship, lovely roasted maple fingerboard. I play a regular transistor amplifier Orange Crush 12 - the sound suits me.

Underrated tele

I know this is not the traditional tele but this RH Contemp version is so underrated! plus the fact the design is gorgeous! Youtube the sounds and this one plays clean tones great as well!

Amazing!

More than i was expecting.

First thing i notice was the finishing, very good and the Pearl White color is beautiful, even better when you look closer.

Neck is very comfortable, no need to work on strings height, knobs and switch very smooth.

I like the pickups but i'm very used to active HH´s so i might change in the future, but just personal preference, there´s no really need for it

So, overall you you have a great time with the beautiful and very stylish Tele.
