Electric Guitar Review

When I saw Squier’s new OBEY Graphic Telecaster it made me think of my old punk rock days, and that cheapo, no-name guitar my mom bought me from a pawnshop when I was 17, and which I quickly covered with band stickers: The Cramps, Subhumans, Minutemen, Toy Dolls, Bauhuas…

The OBEY Graphic Telecaster however actually looks like a decent little guitar, and for just under $250, well, I suppose you can’t really go wrong. Besides the cool artwork by Shepard Fairey, the guitar’s got so-called “RusticAndWorn” hardware, meaning this baby has a lot more personality than a fresh-out-of-the-box Tele.

Squier sometimes gets a bad rap for being Fender’s “little brother,” but to be honest with you, they really do make nice guitars for the price range, and they’re actually made by Fender — so while you get a cheaper instrument, they aren’t half bad for what you’re paying.
