The Squier Affinity Series Telecaster puts authentic Tele feel, tone, and stage-ready presentation into your hands at an outstanding price point. This Affinity Series Telecaster adds more value than ever before! An upgraded solid okoume body provides deluxe looks and superb resonance with mahogany-like traits. The body is topped with flame maple for dashing premium looks, and a maple top brings out more of those twangy, stinging treble frequencies that Telecaster fans go wild for. A solid “C”-shape, bolt-on maple neck offers endless hours of comfort and playability onstage, in the studio, or in the garage as you explore your style across genres. Two ceramic pickups provide signature Tele sounds in humbucker and single-coil form — that’s two styles of bright, full, and bold tone.
Made from solid maple, the neck and fingerboard on Squier’s Affinity Series Telecaster are 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.
In order to deliver the crisp, full-bodied sound that the Telecaster is known for, this electric guitar is outfitted with two vintage-inspired Tele pickups — a traditional Telecaster single-coil in the bridge position and a humbucker in the neck position. Why do the pros and recording artists love this pickup configuration? It’s because you can enjoy bridge pickup clarity and twang. Meanwhile, the neck humbucker enhances everything from thick and mellow jazzy chords to loud, overdriven leads without the hum you’d get from the bridge pickup. Master volume and master tone knobs allow you to dial in the perfect sound for your style, and you can select either pickup (or combine them) using a 3-way selector.
