Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing

Made from solid maple with a maple fingerboard, the neck on Squier's Affinity Series Telecaster Deluxe 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.

Versatile pair of humbuckers

The Affinity Series Tele Deluxe has been wired for tone with a mind-blowing array of sound-shaping at your fingertips. Two humbuckers arm you with all the crunch and growl demanded by genres drenched in different levels of gain. And with two volume and tone knobs, you have a spectrum of sounds to dial in along with near-infinite stylistic colorings to explore.

Rated 5/5

Very pleased with this guitar

I thought I would have to have a set up done because of the shipping of the guitar. But it came to me so wrapped up and in such great shape. I'm completely impressed with the playability of this guitar. It's so affordable yet so fun to play and sounds really nice with my Boss katana 50.
Music background: Started playing again after a long hiatus , playing in bands back when I was young.

A Squier?

This guitar looks,sounds and plays awesome can't beat it for the price it fits right in with my usa and player Fenders if you're looking for a good guitar for a good price go get one. Came playable out of the box but I put my favorite strings on and tweaked a couple things and it rocks!
Rated 5/5

Cannot believe how well this plays

I have been looking for a Tele Deluxe and could not believe the price on it, but after reading the reviews, I figured nothing to lose, so I tried it and got it set up by Sweetwater, and WOW it sounds great, the strings are low and loose, I can't believe how easy it is to play and how it feels. My Rep Christopher made sure everything was perfect, and overall a great experience.
Rated 5/5

Great Guitar

To start, I hate telecasters. Hate is a strong word I guess. But! This guitar is solid. Plays and feels great. Sounds great. I forget im holding a squire! For my first tele, I am super satisfied with this guitar.
