Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing

Made from solid maple with an Indian laurel 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 flat-picking all sound great on this beautifully designed, comfortable neck.

Two vintage-style 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.

Squire Telecaster

I found one in a guitar shop that was a gem. The neck was awesome. Body contour cutaway I thought was really comfortable. I went into the shop with a friend who has been a studio engineer for some of the big acts from the 60's and 70's . Great player also. He picked it up and played it and told me to buy it and ' never ' sell it. Some Squires are rough and cheap but this one was great.

Great Guitar!

My guitar arrived flawless. Set up was good. How they charge $ for this guitar is beyond me! I played this axe through a Marshall DSL 20, Bugera Vintage 55 and a Orange Super Crush 100 combo. lots of output from the pickups. There is some noise. Overall, this is a great guitar. Thanks to William Mitchell for helping me build my rig.

Sweet - water flows like pros

I've been around since the Tele was invented, yea, that long. When I was coming up there were no alternative choices other than the top American brands which were becoming more and more expensive in time.
Fast forward, off shore builds are alarmingly good and for a newbie today, the gear is affordable and top quality.
I own about 2 dozen instruments ranging from from heirloom vintage to this white Affinity tele just purchased. Furthermore,
Sweetwater has become the "go to" dealer with fantastic website, CS , prices etc..etc ..I recently learned there has been a top down change in ownership...sure hope Sweetwater keeps delivering like the industry standard caring pros they've been.

Strat Guy gets a Tele!

I've had a few cheaper Tele copies in the past but still couldn't stop playing my Strat. One part of this was the other teles had chunky necks and I play sitting down 99 % of the time and the body contour (no belly cut) would become irritating after a while. My main strat has a matte neck that is slim.

When I went to a local store to try a Classic Vibe tele and low and behold...I didn't like the body and the neck I found too sticky with the glossy finish. I then grabbed the Affinity Telecaster.

It was light. I has a tummy cut. The neck was not chunky. The matte finish was very smooth and nice to play. The tone was also a little warmer than than a traditional tele, which I like. BINGO! I would have bought it on the spot but I didn't like the color. So Sweetwater came through and got this beauty in my hands in ONE DAY!

It sounds great, was setup perfectly, and the neck was perfect with no fret issues and no fret sprout. It's light, too! Even though it doesn't say "Fender" on the neck, this will be a great mod platform to make a Telecaster for my style and comfort. I highly recommend checking it out.

Squier Telecaster Olympic White

Such a value for a guitar! There are some minor differences between these and their Fender siblings but overall a really great guitar right out of the box!
