Squier Vintage Modified Tele Thinline

Post by Shane110111 » Wed Feb 20, 2008 8:13 am

I've been looking at this guitar and I really like it.
Have any of you guys ever played this guitar before? What do you think of it?
I want to buy this guitar but Im a lefty and I dont think I could get this in a lefty, so yeah.
Would it be possible to put a left handed tele neck on it? Im into alternative(Bloc Party, REM, Radiohead, Queens of The Stone Age, Sonic Youth) and shoegaze(My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive)  music and I think this guitar would be a good addition.
What do you guys think?

I've herd only good things about the new squiers coming out of india.  Ive played 2 of the new teles, the humbucker and 3 pickup ones, and they were GREAT!  Well, one store had great ones, one store had both models with fret sprout so bad it was nearly criminal negligence.

Im sure a thinline owuld do the trick for you, teles can be used for anything, and I bet a LH neck will fit on, but I dont know for sure.
I prefer their older stuff.

Actually I believe that the Thinline is built in China.

Yeah the new Vintage Modified Teles are pretty sweet, at that price, I could still afford a lefty neck and have a sweet guitar thats about the price of a MIM Tele Standard. And yeah, I think a lefty neck would most likely fit.

they look great and i think they are worth the money. squier improved a lot with these vintage modified models

Does anyone know if a lefty tele neck would fit? If so, where could I find one that could be shipped to Canada?
