Hi Everyone,
I'm just getting back into guitar after a 14 year layoff. My first good guitar back in th 80s was a Squier Telecaster, so the basic style of my new guitar is a no brainier. As much as I love Strats, there's just something about a Telecaster.

I've been to a local shop and played a Squier Telecaster Custom II twice. It has a really nice feel and I like the P90 pickups. The guitar has some bite to it, a nice meaty tone. They're getting a Squier Telecaster Custom with the humbucker pickups so I can try it.

Does anyone have experience with these two guitars that they can share? Any problems with the pickups or electronics? I tend to play blues and rock. My favourite guitarists are Eric Clapton, Pete Townsend, Andy Summers and The Edge, though David Gilmour holds a special place in my heart too.

I have the Custom II. Nice guitar. I like the pups. The P90s were the reason I bought it. I already have a guitar with humbuckers. Keep in mind that P90s are still single coils so you my get some noise.

I just saw the new Squier vintage modified Deluxe and Custom teles at Sweetwater.com and man do they look sweet. They have the finish of more expensive guitars but at 299 they seem to be a bargain. I just can't decide which one i like the best. The Deluxe has a Killer Sunburst, But the Custom has a contour body and Strat headstock just like the Fender's Check them out
