Quick Snapshot
Why You'll Love It
The SETL300 keeps everything that made the Tele shape a classic - two single-coils, a fixed string-through bridge and simple controls - and adds a rosewood fingerboard and a red tortoise pickguard against a glossy Red body.
Classic Twang From Two Single-Coils
An SQOE Classic 50's single-coil at the neck and an SQOE Twang Master at the bridge give you warm, round neck tones and the bright, cutting bridge sound a Tele is known for, with both together on the middle switch position.
A Rosewood Board On A Slim C Neck
A satin-finished maple neck with a Slim C profile carries a rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius over a 648mm scale - comfortable for chords and easy for bends and lead lines.
String-Through Body For Sustain
The strings load through the poplar body into a chrome vintage-style bridge with 3 barrel saddles, and SQOE's chrome enclosed tuners hold the tuning at the other end.
A Padded Gig Bag And Accessory Kit, Straight From The Factory
The SETL300 now ships with a padded gig bag and an accessory kit included from the factory, along with an Allen key - fewer separate purchases needed before you're ready to play.
The SQOE Standard
SQOE traces its name back to a Spanish guitar-making lineage - the Esquivel family, who by SQOE's own account have handcrafted guitars since 1883 - and builds its identity today around the backronym "Sound Quality Over Experience." Guitars sold under the SQOE name are manufactured in China, with a catalog spanning classical, folk, dreadnought, and electric models. The SETL300 sits in SQOE's TL series of Tele-style guitars, which runs from the maple-board SETL250 up to the Custom Shop SETL1000FR.
Engineered With Purpose
Twang Master Bridge Pickup, 3-Barrel String-Through Bridge
The bridge pickup is SQOE's Twang Master single-coil, mounted in a chrome vintage-style bridge with 3 barrel saddles. All six strings load through the back of the body, anchoring them firmly for sustain and a solid, direct attack.
Satin Maple Neck With A Rosewood Fingerboard
A maple neck with a satin finish and a Slim C profile, topped with a rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius. A double-action truss rod lets you adjust neck relief in either direction.
SQOE Chrome Enclosed Tuners
Chrome-plated enclosed tuners keep the gears sealed from dust and sweat, so tuning stays smooth and stable with very little maintenance.
A Glossy Red Poplar Body
The poplar Tele-style body has a glossy Red finish with a red tortoise pickguard, a chrome control plate with 1 volume and 1 tone knob, and a 3-way pickup selector.

All three share SQOE's glossy poplar Tele body, an S-S single-coil layout, chrome enclosed tuners and the same 1 volume, 1 tone and 3-way switch controls, so the real choice is the fingerboard. The SETL250 has a satin maple board and the SETL400 a roasted maple board, while the SETL300 is the rosewood-board model, paired with a string-through-body bridge and a red tortoise pickguard. Pick the SETL300 if you want the classic dark-board Tele look and a slightly smoother, warmer feel under your fingers.
