Reviews

HH Squier
Decided to add some color.
Punches above its weight
There are many things to like about this Squire Tele Deluxe :

Controls mounted out of the way - very UN-like those on my Strats.
Separate volume and tone controls like my Gibsons.
The ceramic neck P/U is full and articulate.
Rad silverburst finish.
Excellent fit and finish overall. (Mine's made in Indonesia)
Set up perfectly out of the box.
6-Saddle bridge with die-cast saddles.
Classy gloss-finished head-stock face.
Screwed on jack plate - more secure than the classic Tele receptacle.
Resonant, lightweight Poplar body is EZ on your body.
1-11/16" at the nut - wide enough for human hands.
Dark Indian Laurel fret-board - a close approximation to Rosewood.
Sealed tuners with split safety posts.
Hard-tail bridge for tuning stability and no wobble when bending strings.
Very playable neck, with a comfortable 9-1/2 radius, and no fret-outs even with the action set low.
Strat-type belly relief for improved ergonomics
Medium jumbo frets.
Inexpensive.
Fun to play.

These are the "issues" - (if you can call them that). None are of any real consequence:

Used alone, the bridge P/U has a brittle, nasal timbre IMO - but an easy upgrade if you are so inclined.
Neck-dive like an SG. (Get a cotton canvass or a suede strap - it helps a lot.)
You have to remove all the screws and switch retainer to get all the pick-guard protective film off - this is a pain but allows the opportunity to rotate the 3-way switch 90 degrees - if you're used to Gibsons.
The pots are not full sized but they'll do for now. (I'll change 'em later for solid shaft CTS or Alphas, with real Fender amp knobs.)
Raising or lowering the P/U pole pieces wicks up some potting wax. (Take care not to scratch the covers when removing it.)

The squire affinity deluxe style telecaster is built good sounds great and is well worth the money. Great for beginners to experience musicians alike.
Undervalued Gem!
Bought this stunning beauty from Sweetwater. Thanks to the Robs! Love this Tele, the neck is nicely done no sharp fret ends and the fret board even seems to be somewhat rolled. Did a few things to it after I got it. Oiled the fretboard and the beautiful grain came out. Polished the frets, lubricated the saddle and the nut. Plays incredibly well and sounds better than some of my upper tier guitars. Squire nailed this one! Wanted to get a Fender Tele, having second thoughts now. Sweetwater was quick to ship. Had it in 2 days. Rob and Robbie were very helpful and courteous. This is why I buy from Sweetwater!
Thanks Team Sweetwater!
