Classic Tele Sound and Features from Squier

The Squier Affinity Series Telecaster puts authentic Tele feel, tone, and stage-ready looks into your hands at an outstanding price point. Featuring a lightweight, resonant poplar body with a solid "C"-shaped, bolt-on maple neck, this Telecaster electric guitar offers endless hours of comfort and playability on the stage, in the studio, or in the garage, as you explore your own style across genres. Two ceramic single-coil pickups provide that signature Tele tone — bright, full, and bold. Grab the Squier Affinity Series Telecaster here at Sweetwater and hear, feel, and see what countless players over the years have fallen in love with!

Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing

Made from solid maple with a maple fingerboard, the neck on Squier’s Affinity Series Telecaster is designed to deliver a powerful, robust tone and smooth playability — ideal for blistering lead runs and chords up and down the neck. The 21 medium-jumbo frets provide you with added playing comfort, so you can continue for hours without hand fatigue. Bends, runs, fingerpicking, and flatpicking all sound great on this beautifully designed, comfortable neck.

Two ceramic single-coil pickups offer dynamic tone

In order to deliver the crisp, full-bodied sound that the Telecaster is known for, this electric guitar is outfitted with two vintage-style single-coil Tele pickups. These pickups deliver that classic, singing single-coil tone that stays defined even when pushed at higher volumes. Master volume and master tone knobs allow you to dial in the perfect sound for your style.

Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Features:

  • Classic Telecaster feel, tone, and looks at an incredibly affordable price point
  • Solid "C"-shaped, bolt-on maple neck for great playability and comfort
  • 2 ceramic single-coil pickups with signature Tele tone — bright, full, and bold
  • 21 medium-jumbo frets for added playing comfort

Rated 5/5

Best guitar

I have several Telecasters. Including a 1983 USA, A Mexican Esquier, a 60th anniversary special, This is the best out of the box. Ben Stokes and the team had the set up done perfectly. All did was put Polyweb 9/42's on it. I can't believe how good the guitar is! Get one for sure.

Squire Telecaster

Great guitar! Bought it, buffed the frets with 4/0 steel wool (taped between frets) replaced strings with some Ernie Balls, intonated it and now have a Tele I would put up against any Fender! Beautiful finish (Sunburst) and fine construction. It plays like a dream. I have numerous guitars, including Fenders, but this might be my new favorite. I don't know if mine is just an exceptional Squier Tele but it it is great guitar!
Rated 5/5

Very Happy

I am 60 yrs old and only playing for 5 yrs . However I do play everyday since I am retired and I have been blessed to own some fine guitars. Thanks to Sweetwater . Because I am so new I felt that I have to only be seen with upper class head stocks. Well Covid and other economic changes have changed all that. This Squire has been a pleasant surprise !! It is beautiful and it sounds better than my other American guitars costing 4 times more. Even if I do change the pickups I'll be way ahead of the game. Play because you want to play and you can't go wrong . Special shout out to Dave Berkowski my rep. Peace Out
