The Squier Telecaster should be readily available in local music shops which would allow one the opportunity to try the guitar, and can be located in Yellow Pages. Online they are sold by Amazon and the Musician's Friend websites.
According to Squier it features Custom-Designed Humbuckers.
Just buy the Fender instead of the Squier. From the description, you're probably looking at a Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe, with two "wide range" humbuckers and four control knobs. You can modify a Squier, but the cost of the modifications and the parts will probably exceed the cost of the guitar. And there is never any guarantee that the resulting sound will be good until you've already paid for and completed the modification. Also, a Squier depreciates in value pretty much the second you take it out of the store. A Fender, even a Mexican one, will hold its value better. When in doubt, just buy the guitar that already has the sound and feel you want.
