I bought this "squier" Tele on craigs list last night.
This is the nicest "squier" I have ever seen, the neck is more like an American Standard, the neck pocket date is Jul 27 1989 and the ser # on the neck is 1989.

The body though multi piece (3) seems to be solid alder.

Extremely well put together, made in Mexico Tele !

Cool find. Those MIM Squiers seem to be of very similar quality to the MIM Fenders of the same era. Thanks for the compliment on my build. You would be amazed what you can accomplish with a decent plan and the right tools. I think the black does look good though. I was as sceptical about my own abilities as you before I started trying these projects.

Nice! I see those pop up every now and then, but not too often.
Timing is everything, congrats!

and at 150 bones, its a great project guitar too.

I have liked the tuxedo Tele look for a long time also, known in my family as the penguin !

But I'm such a fool for the original Black Guard look !!! Butterscotch and Black !

yep, I just finished stringing her up

I've owned two or three of those black script Mexi Squier Strats, first off they were way inferior in build and componants ! and this was the first Tele I have found.

The funny thing is, online guys say the black script ones are prized, i found them to be garbage !

This guitar is as I said before at least as good as the MIM Standards I've had over the years, it has alnico pickups, most of the MIM's I have owned had ceramic's
The pots are the little import style, new pots and wiring could make this a real keeper !
