Squier Affinity Series Telecaster

I was dubious about buying this. But for the price it is a great little Guitar. Lovely finish on the Body. The Headstocks front is finished in a Gloss lacquer. However the neck and fretboard feel as though there is no finish on there. I have emailed Squier about this to see what it has or has not been given at the Factory. There is no Skunk stripe on the back of the neck. But that's not an issue. It sounds pretty good too, but don't expect a full on Telecaster twang. My Guitar has a low hum, until I touch the Strings. A bad Earth possibly? Going to have that looked into. The Strings are 9 gauge so easy to play on and the neck and Fretboard is smooth, so nice to play, the C shaped neck is also very comfortable in the Hand. It is very light to hold too. The Action on the strings are fairly low. Using YouTube and a Guitar care kit, I managed to set the Neck relief and set the String Action even lower, increasing the playability out of the box. All in all, I am very happy to have bought this Guitar. 10/10. Great Guitar for a Beginner or someone like me wanting something cheap to learn Guitar Maintenance on whilst having something to play too.

Great value for money guitar, I've played guitar for over 50 years and always played a Gibson SG, I decided to try something different so I ordered the Squire Affinity in White. It played straight out the box pretty good. I needed to lower the action slightly and adjust the intonation for my playing style, but I must say this guitar is so good for the price. The nut was cut perfectly, just the right amount of neck relief, No sharp fret ends, the neck feels good, the finish is excellent. The only down side was I did find 2 slightly high frets but not bad enough to affect the playability. The fingerboard looks a little dry and in need of oiling, but I'll take care of those things next time I change strings. Of course I may have been lucky and got a good one, I don't know! but I'm well impressed with the guitar I got.

Wish I’d replaced my old Yamaha years ago!! One issue with loose tone adjuster but easily fixed. It plays so well once the action and intonation are sorted

Received this guitar today and spent a couple of hours enjoying myself playing it. It’s worth noting that, despite owning and fiddling about on guitars for more than 20 years, I am still what I class as a beginner. Self taught, pick up and put down with no particular dedication to learning properly. That said, I have owned four guitars in that time, of varied quality. I have owned a Lindo semi-acoustic for about ten years, which has been a good guitar but I found the action a little high and the sound just reasonable. Years ago, I had a Squier Strat and originally ordered a new one of those. Amazon really let me down, postponing and delaying delivery of that so I got fed up, cancelled the order and ordered this instead. I’m glad I did. This is so much better than the strat I owned. The action is low, the neck is smooth and it sounds great. It looks beautiful too. I’ve managed to play some barre chords that actually sound like they should, which I was struggling with on the Lindo, so bonus! Finally, I bought the Amazon warehouse version which said it may have scratches and a damaged package. It had neither, which Amazon warehouse goods often don’t. It was in pristine condition and about £30 cheaper than the brand new version. In short, if you are a beginner, looking for a decent electric guitar, you could do a lot worse than this.

So there's nothing really to fault this guitar (Fender Squire Affinity Telecaster), especially for the price (£189 in December 2022 from Amazon UK). Delivered directly from Fender UK (nice). I'm no expert guitarist, but have played a few in my time, and have written for guitar (bass / electric /acoustic). The sound is spot on for a Telecaster. Easy to tune and the strings hold their tuning fairly well over time. The finish of the neck and body is of good quality (smooth and glossy body, with smooth satin neck), and the fret is finished perfectly (no sharp edges or rough bits). Even the 2 knobs and the coils selector feel pretty solid (reviews of older versions found these to be a bit plasticy and bendy). Its fairly light - I'm used to something with a couple of more KGs weight, but that is probably a good thing - especially for beginners. Note: The strings come loosely tuned (down tuned), so wil need to be tuned upon delivery. There are a number of good easy to use iPhone / Android apps that wil do this very quickly / easily. In all, a really good all rounder for blues / jazz / rock / country / pop / lead or backing.

I bought the Squier Affinity Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde, from Amazon warehouse. Saved a good £30 on the already dirt cheap price of £212 - what a bargain! The parcel came in the original packaging, which had been opened previously but showed very little damage. The guitar itself was well cushioned with packaging inside and, after giving it a thorough going over, the only fault I could spot was a very slight blemish on one of the edges of the main body's paintwork - the sort of mark that my other guitars have aplenty from general use! I was able to lick my thumb and smoothe it out, good as new! The guitar is made in China, contrary to some advertising is as Indonesia. Regardless of where it's made, this is a very well made guitar and I'd be hard pushed to tell it apart from and American made Tele. The only real giveaway is the weight, as the poplar wood is a fair bit lighter than the Ash or Alder used on the originals. This actually has it's benefits, as it makes it very playable without putting too much stress on your back. The only drawback is a bit of neck dive, which is not a big issue at all. The pickups and control knobs/switch are a cheaper alternative to the OG, as is the plastic truss rod nut, compared with the OG's bone nut. These are minor aesthetics, that really don't affect the playing of the guitar unless you are a perfectionist audiophile who has a finely tuned ear. It's honestly the best sounding and easiest playing guitar I've ever owned and I can barely tell the difference between this and original teles I've previously played. Buy this guitar or you'll regret it when they realise they're undercutting themselves at this price!

Hard to fault the construction, sound and playability of this guitar. It’d be a good buy in any case, but at the price it’s amazing. I compared it directly to a USA professional Telecaster, and I’d say this is 85% of the pro tele at 20% of the price. Remarkable value. I’d gig it without hesitation. I enjoy playing it, and it has great tones from the edgy bridge pickup to the more mellow neck pickup. Holds tune perfectly well. Comfortable bridge and no nonsense hardware. I’ve had a few of these Squiers over the years and they seem to constantly improve; this one is even better than my previous one, which was itself a fine guitar. All in all, a great buy for beginners, intermediates who want a tele sound, or pros who want a guitar to chuck in the luggage for holidays!

Comfortable playable guitar.intonation is pretty difficult in the low E,but sorted after the neck settled @ your room climate.

Got this on promo because I had some CV pickups around and decided it would be fun to install them as they didnt sound that bad. Mine is a Chinese made 21 model - String through body and belly cut. I honestly was very impressed by this guitar. For the price I paid it is great. Sounded great out of the box with the ceramic pickups - I considered not to change them but it does sound nicer now with the CV pups. Neck is like a player series but slighlty smaller. Frets are smaller also and are kind of scratchy which could be easily fixed but I honestly didnt bother. It will go away. Colour is kind of mustard but it looks like a one piece body (!!) Very light and resonant. Poplar has some greenish veins going through it so it will not look butterscotch. Only complaint is a small ding on one of the ferrule inserts and the skunk stripe which seems to be made from not so good wood and you actually feel the imperfections when you run your fingers through it - Probably thats why it was on promo. Not a deal breaker and for the price, I'm really happy with it. Highly recommend it.

The guitar arrived earlier than expected and there are some wear and tear on the packaging but the guitar itself is in pristine condition considering I purchased it from Amazon Warehouse. No string buzzing whatsoever, the frets are all nice and smooth but I have to further tweak the string action, bridge action and the pickup heights for my playing preference. The satin C shape neck is a joy to play, the tuners keep their tune, and the pickups are excellent for the price. It did not come with a case and strap but I have no complains, this is a great value guitar!

I can put this one down it’s become my go-to guitar. I’ve been a Squier fan for many years and this one lives up to my expectations. The packaging was secure and well-packed to ensure no dings. The neck plays very well and action was great right out of the box. No truss rod adjustment needed at all. Frets are smooth with no jagged ends. The neck is a satin- finished, slim C shape and body finish is astounding- beautiful butterscotch blonde with a beautiful gloss. This has a belly cut that makes it very comfortable to play. The bridge is a modern style vs the ashtray style. I prefer the one on this because it’s easier rest my palm. The modern bridge saddles make intonation and string height adjustments easy. The strings also go through the body, which adds a more full, crisp sound. The tuners are good and there weren’t any issues. I put D’Addario locking autotrim tuners on all my guitars but if I couldn’t the stock ones would be ok as they are. FYI - the D’Addario tuners I mentioned require no drilling and are direct drop-ins. The nut is synthetic bone and I found no issues with spacing. The pickups are ok and most will be happy with them. However I put in noiseless single coils. Most people love Squiers because they’re also great modding platforms and this one is no different but this one can stand on its own just as it is stick. Very fast comfy neck, decent pickups, and a great finish make this one a winner.
