The Squier Vintage Modified Cabronita Telecaster with Bigsby in Black is a distinctive twist on the classic Telecaster formula, combining traditional Fender-inspired styling with a mixed pickup configuration and factory Bigsby vibrato.

Rather than using the twin Fideli’Tron humbuckers found on the standard Vintage Modified Cabronita, this Bigsby-equipped version pairs a Fideli’Tron humbucker in the neck position with a traditional Telecaster single coil at the bridge. The result is a particularly versatile combination, offering warm, full-bodied neck tones alongside the sharper attack and twang associated with a classic Tele bridge pickup.

A simple Master Volume and 3-way selector keep operation straightforward, while the Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato adds smooth pitch movement and vintage character.

This Pre-Owned example is finished in Black, is in Very Good condition, weighs an actual 8.56 lbs, and is supplied without a case.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Cabronita Telecaster with Bigsby is unusual because it combines two very different pickup voices in a stripped-back control layout.

The neck Fideli’Tron provides warmth, clarity and body without becoming overly dark, while the bridge Telecaster single coil supplies the unmistakable cut and attack associated with a traditional Tele.

Add the Bigsby and you have a guitar capable of covering everything from roots and rockabilly through to indie, alternative, blues and classic rock.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Cabronita Styling

The Cabronita design strips the Telecaster back to its essentials while giving it a noticeably different personality.

A simple control arrangement, unusual pickup configuration and minimal visual clutter give the model a clean hot-rodded appearance.

Basswood Body

The solid basswood body provides a balanced tonal foundation and keeps the fundamental response clear and versatile.

Black Finish

The gloss Black finish works especially well with the white pickguard and chrome hardware, giving the guitar a clean and purposeful appearance.

Maple Neck

The bolt-on maple neck provides the familiar direct response associated with Fender-style construction.

Modern “C” Profile

The neck uses a comfortable Modern “C” shape, making it suitable for a wide variety of playing styles.

Maple Fingerboard

The maple fingerboard contributes to the guitar’s bright visual appearance and immediate playing feel.

9.5" Fingerboard Radius

The 9.5" radius provides a useful middle ground between vintage curvature and flatter modern fingerboards.

It works comfortably for both chord playing and string bending.

22 Medium-Jumbo Frets

The guitar uses 22 medium-jumbo frets, providing a comfortable and familiar playing surface.

25.5" Scale Length

The traditional 25.5" Fender-style scale provides firm string tension and clear articulation.

Fideli’Tron Neck Humbucker

The neck position uses a Fideli’Tron humbucker.

This provides a fuller sound than a conventional Telecaster neck pickup while retaining more clarity and snap than many traditional full-size humbuckers.

Telecaster Bridge Single Coil

The bridge position uses a standard Telecaster-style single coil.

This provides the familiar bright attack, bite and twang that defines a Tele bridge sound.

Mixed SH Pickup Layout

The combination of a neck humbucker and bridge single coil gives the guitar a particularly broad tonal range.

It can move from warm rhythm and lead tones to cutting country and rock sounds with a simple flick of the selector.

Three-Way Toggle

A 3-way toggle switch provides:

1. Bridge pickup

2. Bridge + Neck

3. Neck pickup

The layout is simple and immediate.

Single Master Volume

The Cabronita uses just one Master Volume control.

There is no tone control, keeping the signal path and control layout deliberately straightforward.

Bigsby-Licensed B50

The Bigsby-licensed B50 vibrato provides smooth, expressive pitch movement.

It is especially effective for chord shimmer, rockabilly-style vibrato and atmospheric textures.

Adjustable Bridge

The adjustable bridge allows individual intonation adjustment and works in conjunction with the Bigsby vibrato system.

8.56 lbs Actual Weight

This individual guitar weighs 8.56 lbs, providing an exact measured weight for this specific example.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Squier Vintage Modified Cabronita Telecaster with Bigsby is particularly well suited to rock, rockabilly, indie, alternative, blues, roots and country players looking for something more unusual than a conventional Telecaster.

It should also appeal to players who like Gretsch-style pickup character but prefer the feel and simplicity of a Telecaster platform.

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The Cabronita Telecaster with Bigsby works particularly well for:

• Rock

• Rockabilly

• Indie

• Alternative

• Country

• Blues

• Roots

• Americana

• Clean rhythm

• Overdriven lead work

• Atmospheric guitar

The combination of Telecaster bridge bite and the smoother Fideli’Tron neck pickup makes it especially versatile.

HOW IT COMPARES

Bigsby Cabronita vs Standard Cabronita

The standard Vintage Modified Cabronita Telecaster uses two Fideli’Tron humbuckers.

The Bigsby version is different, pairing a Fideli’Tron neck humbucker with a Telecaster bridge single coil.

Cabronita vs Traditional Telecaster

A standard Telecaster normally uses two single-coil pickups and Volume/Tone controls.

The Cabronita simplifies the controls and substitutes a humbucker in the neck position for a fuller sound.

Bigsby vs Fixed Bridge

A fixed Telecaster bridge offers maximum simplicity and directness.

The Bigsby adds expressive vibrato and gives the guitar a more fluid, vintage-inspired response.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Players looking for an unusual Telecaster with a versatile humbucker/single-coil pickup combination and expressive Bigsby vibrato.

Customers usually upgrade from: Standard Telecasters, basic Squier models and conventional fixed-bridge T-style guitars.

Most commonly paired with: Valve amplifiers, overdrive, spring reverb, slapback delay, tremolo and boost pedals.

Our tip: The bridge pickup gives you the classic Telecaster bite, while the neck Fideli’Tron is considerably fuller. Use the middle position when you want a balanced sound that combines warmth with plenty of articulation.

Showroom feedback: This is one of the more interesting Vintage Modified Telecasters because the Bigsby model has a genuinely different pickup configuration from the standard Cabronita. The result is a guitar with a lot of character without becoming complicated to operate.
