The Sonic series is Squier's current entry-level line, and this Telecaster in California Blue is a solid place to start. Two single-coil pickups give you that unmistakable Tele sound -- bright and snappy on the bridge, rounder and warmer on the neck. The 3-way switch keeps things simple, which is part of what makes the Telecaster design so enduring.

The slim C-shaped neck and lightweight body are comfortable for smaller hands and longer practice sessions. Squier kept the essentials here and skipped the gimmicks, which is exactly what a beginner or budget-minded player needs. The California Blue finish adds a pop of personality that stands out from the usual black-and-sunburst crowd. Pair it with a decent practice amp and you're ready to learn country, rock, punk, or indie.
