Hi Christopher,

As you are probably already aware, Squier is Fender’s economy line, so technically they’re both made by Fender. I have a 2016 Fender Standard Telecaster, and absolutely love it — it has great action, and I love the finished maple fretboard. I think at the time it was one step up in price from their least expensive Tele. I’m not a professional and just play for my own relaxation and enjoyment, but I have to say that I feel like my playing improved significantly with this guitar — it’s very playable, easy on the fingers, and it’s really easy to play those bar chords! I haven’t for an instant regretted not getting a higher-priced model, nor going down to something less expensive.

To my eyes and ears, there isn’t a whole lot of difference between what I have and the Squier Tele. I follow Richie Furay, one of the founding members of Buffalo Springfield and Poco, and his guitarist, Scott Sellen, plays a Squier Tele in his live shows. It always sounds amazing to me. I’d say go for it.

I also went the Mel Bay route many years ago, and nowadays there are much more enjoyable apps and YouTube tutorials you can follow that I wish had been available when I was 13!

Good luck and have fun,

Paul

Hi Bill,

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a wine expert in any way, shape or form — I’m an occasional wine drinker living in Connecticut in the U.S. That said, Yellowtail is pretty readily available in the imported wine sections of many local liquor stores (you’re correct, it’s made in Australia), and their Chardonnay has become my most frequent inexpensive go-to wine. I’m always happy with it. I’ve tried their Cabernet Sauvignon as well and liked it, I just have a personal preference for white wines and Chardonnay in particular.

Enjoy it!

Paul
