Squier has a new Tele for 2022. 'New' here refers to the fact that it's a baritone instrument, sporting a 27" scale length. Its full reference: Classic Vibe Baritone Custom Telecaster. Folks, 'Custom' here is not a reference to a custom tier where appointments are exclusive & costly. It simply refers to the range of Telecasters in the 60s sporting a bound body & rosewood fretboard which are clear appointments in this guitar. It is also offered in black. Who plays a baritone guitar? The downtuned metal chaps, prog-ers & selected jazz cats. We often associate this non-standard tuning individuals as those who embrace excessive distortion exclusively - no. Some of us venture into down-tuning because that's the envelope where our ideas thrive in. When things get lower, there's always a string tension issue & that's where the baritone proves itself useful. Squier's Classic Vibe & Vintage Mod instruments are always worthy in terms of QC & tone. I personally consider them a little above the standard offerings in terms of tier standings. Let's see if these would be available here soon.
