Squier Classic Vibe Baritone Custom Telecaster
Our go-to option and quite frankly, one of the best value-for-money guitars on the market right now is the Squier Classic Vibe Baritone Custom Telecaster. Yes, it’s NOT a Fender but this guitar is beloved by all who come across it. I’ve seen it used in studios in LA and Atlanta on big records with bands you will know.

Squier Sonic Stratocaster HSS Maple Fingerboard
The Squier Sonic Strat HSS is a classic case of “more than the sum of its parts.” It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, playable, and easy to enjoy right away. Whether you’re picking it up for your first lessons, your fifth modding project, or your backup beater for open mics, this Strat holds its own. I didn’t want to stop noodling on it and that’s always a good sign. Another ripper from Squier!

Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Jazzmaster
The Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Jazzmaster brings Fender’s classic offset style to players on a budget. With its distinctive tones, period-correct looks, and the iconic rhythm/lead circuit, this Jazzmaster nails the retro vibe without cutting corners on playability. Whether you’re deep into shoegaze or just want a surfy sidekick, this guitar punches well above its price.

Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Custom Telecaster SH
The Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Custom Telecaster SH takes the classic Telecaster blueprint and flips it with a humbucker in the neck which means more warmth, more punch, and a lot more tonal variety. It nails the vintage look with a bound body, matching headstock, and retro-inspired finishes, but it’s also a bit of a sleeper when it comes to performance. This is a limited-run model, so if you like the vibe, don’t wait around.
