Squier Avril Lavigne Telecaster guitar - Free delivery
Alright, yeah, this guitar is actually an Avril Lavigne signature model guitar...but don't let that put you off, this is a really versatile, cool looking guitar in it's own right. The funky, striking black and white “checkerboard” scratch-plate, and a uniquely identifiable “Star” logo on the 5th fret of the neck make this guitar really stand out!
The pick-up configuration seems alarmingly simple at first sight with just a single dual-coil hum-bucker located at the bridge position. However, on closer inspection it appears that the accompanying 3 way blade type selector switch offers a coil-tap option configured as follows :-
Position 1 (Switch pointing towards neck) = Front coil of Hum-bucker
Position 2 (Switch in middle position) = Both coils of Hum-bucker
Position 3 (Switch pointing towards bridge) = Rear coil of Hum-bucker
The bridge is the standard 6 saddle string-thru-body arrangement and along with the volume knob, machine heads and controls base plate is chrome plated. A noticeable change on this signature model is that the jack input is on the face of the guitar where the tone pot would normally be found rather than on the edge of the body as is the norm with almost all Telecasters.
