Scottsdale, AZ (July 5, 2012) – Squier announces several new models to its acclaimed Vintage Modified series, including Squier takes on five classic Fender guitar designs.

For the first time ever, Squier introduces a Vintage Modified Telecaster Deluxe guitar armed with all-new Fender-designed Wide Range humbucking pickups. An acclaimed and time-honored innovation, the Wide Range humbucking pickup delivers incredibly full tone and lends even more vintage-style authenticity to this new model. Other features include a C-shaped maple neck with vintage-tint gloss finish, 12”-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets and black dot position inlays, three-way toggle pickup switching, four black skirted amp knobs (two volume, two tone), string-through-body bridge with six stamped saddles, and vintage-style chrome tuners.
