Squier 40th Anniversary Telecaster®, Vintage Edition, Maple Fingerboard, Black Anodized Pickguard, Satin Dakota Red

The Squier 40th Anniversary Telecaster® Vintage Edition pays tribute to four decades of Squier history by blending timeless Telecaster styling with premium vintage-inspired appointments. Finished in elegant Satin Dakota Red with aged chrome hardware, black body binding, and a striking black anodized aluminum pickguard, this commemorative model offers authentic Telecaster character with a refined, retro aesthetic.

Built with a resonant nyatoh body and a vintage-tinted maple neck, this Telecaster delivers the classic feel and unmistakable tone players have loved for generations. Fender-Designed Alnico 5 single-coil pickups provide sparkling cleans, rich country twang, articulate blues tones, and punchy rock rhythms, while the vintage-style 3-saddle string-through-body bridge enhances sustain and preserves the unmistakable Telecaster snap. Modern refinements like a comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile, bone nut, and narrow tall frets make this guitar equally enjoyable for today's players.

Why You'll Love It

The 40th Anniversary Vintage Edition Telecaster captures the timeless simplicity that made the original Telecaster a legend while adding premium appointments rarely found at this price point. The satin finish allows the wood to resonate freely and gives the instrument a naturally broken-in feel, while details like the aged chrome hardware, anodized aluminum pickguard, vintage-tinted neck, black body binding, and Fender-Designed Alnico 5 pickups create an instrument that feels every bit as classic as it looks. It's equally at home on stage, in the studio, or proudly displayed as part of a collection celebrating Squier's 40-year legacy.
