Vintage Modified Cabronita Telecaster. The Squier Vintage Modified Cabronita Telecaster rocks a welcome shot of high-powered Cabronita attitude in an already-cool Vintage Modified Telecaster.

Vintage Modified Cabronita Precision Bass. The Squier Vintage Modified Precision Bass comes out swinging with pulse-pounding tone, sultry-yet-simple style and a welcome dose of feisty Cabronita attitude.
