I would say it is a Master Series instrument. There is a page at Musicanfriend for a now discontinued guitar. There are 2 very good photos of the guitar.

For the Master-built Chambered Teles, etc, the big knock on them were intonation issues. Evidently, there were some people that had guitars that could not be intonated properly. The other thing is that Tele purists argue it is too "Gibson-y" (the 4 vol/tone knobs, dual humbuckers, the set neck, the bridge and tailpiece, etc.).

My recommendation is to play it before you buy it, and really check the intonation on it. Personally, I think they are very cool guitars ... the painted neck with the binding is especially nice.

I played a used one at Sam Ash a while ago. It was really nice, light too, and great sound. Really distinct. I didn't notice it was a Squier 'til I put it down.
