This is one solid build! The Pro Tone series of Squiers that came out of the Cort factory in South Korea during this time were made to compliment the standard series and offer a moderate price for a quality affordable instrument. This one exemplifies that effort.

In near perfect condition and very playable with a solid ash body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Sporting a humbucker in the neck position makes for a very versatile Tele with fat bluesy tone.

We took it through the paces and it passed with flying colors. Low action on new strings with a truss rod adjustment and intonation double checked, it is ready to jam. Comes with a lightweight hybrid case. There is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments. The first two frets show very light wear.
