Fun guitar and very high quality

So easy to play with a perfect set up and barely 7 pounds. Frets needed a quick cleaning with Gorgomyte cloth but other than that….nothing. Great sounds to me and even the electronics do the roll off thing very gradually. Back when I started playing guitar 32 years ago, you would have to spend thousands to get a guitar with this kind of playability.

This Telecaster is Far Better Than I Expected!

Well let's just say I'm impressed. The guitar is beautiful - especially in this charcoal frost metallic finish. The neck is totally comfortable and familiar in my hands, with nicely finished frets. The ceramic pickups are full and satisfying in response to multiple playing styles. The tuners are stable and the hardware and nut are a cut above Affinitys I've played in the past. I'd say this is as nice as the MIM teles I've played that are in the $500 and up range. What a bargain. I totally dig it!

Squier Affinity Telecaster Deluxe

This is a winner for Fender. Thinner body with tummy cut makes it very comfortable sitting down. Pickups have great bark. Fretboard looks nice and feels great! I've tried other manufacturers looking for a solid body T-type with HH and a C neck with Medium Jumbo frets. This one weighs 7lb 11oz and it feels really balanced. My first guitar made in China and the workmanship is very good. The tuners are closed back with slots so it has a vintage vibe looking at the glossy headstock. SATIN neck! Great body finish! Cool color Charcoal Frost Metallic!

Very Nice Guitar

I've had this guitar for awhile so I figured it was time to let you know what a Great guitar this is. I have owned several guitars of many brands that had 2 humbuckers but, this one is one I had been looking at for quite a while. I've always had love for Fender guitars and, I currently own an American Strat and,Tele. During all my performing years I have rotated between the Strat and, Tele. I have owned Les Paul's, PRS, and, several other brands of guitars along with several Squier models but, the Tele was always my go to instrument.
I will say that the low end Squires really are beginner guitars but, still are a decent bang for the buck. This Affinity model is just plain super nice. When I received it there was no need of setup it was near perfect! Tweaked the truss rod, minor action and, the intonation was spot on! I did replace some of the bridge saddle screws because they were sticking up and a little sharp. Very minor correction. M3 8's and,6's. Tuned it and started noodling, that's it! Usually if a guitar sounds good unplugged it will sound even better plugged into an amp. This one was no exception.
Tuners were stable, nut was cut perfect, No sharp fret ends, although I usually use a 3m 320grit sanding block on the neck to smooth out any little fret ends and, add a very slight bevel to the neck. Makes the neck feel very smooth and, increases playability. All the electronics worked perfectly with No noise and, the humbuckers gives the Tele a Superb sound with separate tone and volume controls. I perform sitting on a barstool and, the bevel on the backside is super comfy and, it sits perfectly in my lap. I still love my single coil Tele but, this one takes the sounds of a Tele to new heights!
Squires used to be looked down on years ago but, this one is top notch!!

Amazing

Most recently I've tried out a charvel and a fender professional II strat, neither of which really satisfied me tonally.

There is just something about these ceramic humbuckers that really makes me happy. Both the clean and dirty tones sound amazing to me.

The guitar itself is good quality, the neck is really nice and comfortable (satin neck). And the body is just as good as any other. No complaints whatsoever. Just goes to show, you don't need to drop a grand or two to get the tone you're after. It might just be found in a tele with ceramic humbuckers, which is great news for all us tone snobs out there in search for the perfect tone.
