Really dig it. I was able to find one for 700 bucks, so that's why I pulled the trigger. I just wanted a basic, standard tele. Didn't need a compound radius or n3 switching or any of that.
It's got Texas Specials in it so it's got a little more dirt to it that some of the others in the American line. It also has the brass 3 saddle bridge. A lot of guys swear this gives you a little more twang. The only drawback is you'll never get the intonation totally perfect. But I got mine iclose enough for it not to matter. Oh, the one big thing is these have jumbo frets. They're great for bends and it plays super smooth. But if you're not used to them you have to be careful about fretting too hard, as it will go out out of tune. Need just a little lighter touch.
I've heard great things about the MIM stuff now too. And believe or not, I keep hearing really nice things about the "Classic Vibe" Squiers too.
