General

Squier offers a little guitar villain in the form of the Cabronita Telecaster from their Vintage Modified series. Cabronita literally means little villain and this Telecaster is just that, on steroids, with wayward looks and an even fatter sound. This black Squier Cabronita Telecaster is based on the Fender version and has the same cool factor as the original but with a smaller price tag. Characteristic features of this model are the two Fideli'Tron humbuckers with one volume knob and a 3-way switch, the alternatively-shaped pickguard, and the Strat-type hardtail bridge with six adjustable saddles.

Squier Vintage Modified Cabronita Telecaster: basswood body

This Cabronita hides a traditionally-shaped Telecaster basswood body underneath its black high-gloss polyurethane lacquer. Basswood is a lightweight wood type that provides a warm tone and good mids. This guitar's neck is made of maple and has a modern 9.5-inch radius and a fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. The result is a Telecaster that is easy to play, allowing for effortless bends without loss of notes.

A versatile Telecaster

The two Fedeli'Tron humbuckers on this Fender Cabronita produce a nice fat sound, without diminishing the characteristic Telecaster sparkle and bite. The bridge pickup produces a bright, fierce sound that cuts through any mix, ideal for a wide range of music styles from country to punk and even hard rock. The neck pickup balances it all out by producing a delightfully warm sound that is perfectly suited for jazzy chords and bluesy licks. The Strat-style hardtail bridge with a strings-through-body design lets you benefit from a hefty bit of sustain and a neat, direct tone.
