Squier Sonic Telecaster, Laurel Fingerboard, California Blue

The Squier Sonic Telecaster in California Blue is a fresh take on a timeless classic—designed for modern players who love the spirit of the Tele but want something punchy, playable, and easy on the wallet. Whether you're just picking up your first electric or you’re an experienced musician looking for a trusty workhorse, this guitar brings buckets of tone, style, and charm with no fuss and no filler.

Dressed in a vibrant California Blue finish, this Telecaster stands out from the crowd. It's got all the hallmarks of Fender’s original blueprint—the iconic single-cut body, minimalist controls, and instantly recognisable silhouette—but with an inviting modern twist. The lightweight poplar body makes it gig-friendly and rehearsal-ready, while the smooth satin-finished maple neck gives you that fast, silky playability Tele players crave.

The Indian laurel fingerboard offers a warm feel under the fingers and comes stocked with 21 narrow tall frets—ideal for clear bends and articulate note definition. Whether you're strumming clean or riding the gain, this fretboard keeps your playing sharp and responsive.

Tone-wise, it’s all about clarity, bite, and versatility. The two ceramic single-coil pickups provide that classic Tele sparkle and snap with a touch more output—perfect for gritty blues, crisp country, jangly indie, or even driving punk tones. A master volume, master tone, and a 3-way blade switch keep things simple and effective.

If you're after a guitar that looks the business, plays like a dream, and delivers classic tones with a bold edge, the Squier Sonic Telecaster is a no-brainer.
