How is that J5 Tele anyway? Short of building one from Warmoth parts, it's nearly everything I want in a Tele. Anything noteworthy?

I think that J5 is pretty badass. Will go well with my Custom!

It's not too bad of a guitar. It's up for sale, though, considering I'm much more in-tune with my single coil side again.
I like the neck on it, it's thin, satin and fast. The only thing I don't like are the obvious Squier electronics and semi-heavy weight to it. Pretty good guitar for the money, though.

How were the frets, out of the box? Electronics are a non-issue for me a this point. A nice, smooth feeling neck and HH body, that resonates well is what I'm after.

They had the exact same problem with the Squier Pro Tone series in the 90's. They were essentially Squier's built to (some say above) MIM specs. They had alder bodies back when MIM Fenders had poplar bodies. Not surprisingly, they cut into the MIM sales big time.
If you see a Pro Tone on the used market, pick it up. They're excellent guitars.

^You can have this guitar now for the low-low price of $290!!
But, I ordered one of the new thinlines last Friday and its status still hasn't been updated. What's up with musiciansfriend?
They tell me every day the guitar is going on sale but it still says it isn't.

I played both new styles today...the Thinline was a feather weight guitar for sure. The deluxe feels more solid, and they both feel as good to play as any MIM I've used.
Retail there was $329 for the Thinline and $369 for the Deluxe...not a lot of cheese in any case.

You can add me to the list of squier hotrodders. I modded my Vintage Modified Strat with a custom Warmoth pickguard and a Dimebucker. It added a whole new depth of sound and clairity to the guitar.
My strat is still a work in progress though. I only did a quick and dirty job of wiring it together, despite having 2 new pots and a 5 way switch. Currently it is wired as only a 1 pickup and 1 volume pot guitar... and the pot works backwards. Other than that I'm very happy with the results so far.

Im-Six, don't take offense to the hot-rodding statement. I meant that as a good thing. It's great for anyone who wants an inexpensive guitar that's well worth making an individual statement. swtiches, pots, bridges, etc. I'm thinking that these new VM's will be the next project for me to hotrod. I admit it, i played a few and the more of them i play, the more i like them.

Both of the ones I played were OK, but I can't say how they really play, cause they have 9s on tem and I like 11s for teles.
The sounds were ok, with some of that skinny midrange that makes a Tele sound like a Tele.

Bought my son a Squire bass for his birthday last August…wow, the fit and finish is quite good. The hardware is low end but that can easily be remedied. Fender is probably cannibalizing its own sales as others have mentioned. If you have to have Fender on the headstock then you won't buy Squire. But if you want a good base platform for hotrodding an instrument then Squire is worth the look.

I like the idea of the double bound sunburst one. It's a classy look and with good pickups will sound fine.
Provided you get one with good fretwork and a good nut. In my experience squiers are hit or miss on these fronts.
I don't care how many pieces of alder it is... this is a major step up for squier to finally offer a full body-depth alder tele. One less thing you gotta worry about if you want the fender features at a budget price.
