Well, what can I say? Squier is making good stuff that is definitely gig worthy and the squiggly letters on a headstock doesn't carry the weight that it used to. I also have a Squier made in Indonesian made bullet that has serious mojo. That guitar was made in 2000 and it's still going strong. One of my faves. I played a Mexican made strat standard today and I just don't see where they are any better than the Squiers. These are good days and better times when I was coming up during the 60's and 70's. Guitarists should take note. Been playing for 46 years and have been though alot of guitars and what's availbale today is phenomal.
Very nice attention to detail and haed to tell apart from the real thing. Well put tigether
Excellent quality. Don't dispair Nothing gets a 10 irregardless of who makes it. It becomes a"10" after being worn in from gigging and spending time in clubs with the mud and blood and beer.
For $179.00? Are you kidding me? It's a no brainer. Easily worth more money especially compare to the crap Fender put out during the CBS years. Great value.

I give this guitar a 5 out of 10 only because of the extremely low quality control on the factory setup and the hardware (tuning keys, bridge, input jack plate and pickup selector) are of low quality however, I do not plan on upgrading them. Everything works fine and I very gentle with my guitars.
Not much to mention, its a solid body hard tail guitar with a bolt on neck.
Out of the box this guitar was a mess. Very sharp frets, extremely high action, intonation off on every string and the neck had a inward bow. Not to mention a slight crack (very slight but noticeable) in the body at the neck joint. I did however expected this from a cheap guitar. After a complete setup - filing the frets, setting the action, setting the intonation and straightening out the neck I must say......I love it, absolutely love it. It is by far one of the most comfortable guitars I have ever played. The neck is perfect for chording jazz and classical chords. I play it clean through both pickups (in the middle position) and the tone is amazing. I can't imagine a custom shop tele playing or sounding much better than this squire.
Off the chart once it is properly set up.

Comments about Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Electric Guitar:
I've always been of the opinion "Cheap stuff isn't good, good stuff isn't cheap" This little blue guitar(The color is TO DIE FOR! LOVE IT) proved me wrong!! It could have survived a trip around the world. VERY well packed. It was in PERFECT tune when I took it out of the box. I almost didn't want to play it when I took it out of the box, it was that beautiful!! I have no complaints about this guitar! Haven't plugged it in yet....if you're looking for a SERIOUSLY fast neck, this is it!!!! I'm not sure what the finish is, but it's not like one of those slow, boggy, lacquered necks. This thing flies! Nice weight balance. I might put either .0095's on it, or .010's. To me, the stock .009's on it feel slinky. The 9.5" radius board is forgiving...you can do some nice bends, no choking. Fret edges are like glass! No sharpness. If you're looking for a budget tele, you've found it with a Squire affinity!! I might buy the red one! :) it's THAT GOOD!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Electric Guitar:
Awesome Finish, Awesome Tone, Awesome playability, Yes It Is A Squire So What, I have a squire II Strat I Have Had For Near 20yrs and to this day is still playing well and sounding great, just because it is a cheap guitar don't make it a bad axe, it is all in the player anyway of how you play hard attack or just a casual player, now me I play hard driving country and southern rock and gospel and it plays well stays in tune well too, and yes I changed strings the day I got it, and set intonation it was a hair off on some strings but a easy fix.. anyway I played it along with some songs on youTube and it sounded great even with some USA Made Tele's.. don't run it down people it is approved by fender so it is the same body as a USA Tele and the neck is just quick action, I lowered the strings just a smidge and the action is even better than before.. and frets are perfect all the way down the neck.. I have been playing for over 30+yrs I have played on a lot of guitars and by far this is the best I have played on..

Comments about Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Electric Guitar:
This is the perfect guitar for anyone who wants to spice up their sound or look of their guitar. You can easily slip a hot pickup into the bridge position and create a beast. With this axe, you can make a very inexpensive guitar sound like one worth a few hundred. If you're looking for the perfect modification tele, this is the guitar to buy.
Comments about Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Electric Guitar:
the guitar is perfect for begginers, or people on a budget
The knobs of chrome are nice, and every thing seems sturdy, exept the input jack with is falling out
For its price range, it is a nice guitar
same thing, for the price its really nice
Comments about Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Electric Guitar:
cant go wrong here.
its a great guitar for the money, but youre probably wondering why not a 5 star. because mine came shipped with a chip in the paint, idk whos fault it is, but it sucks, other than that, very satisfied
again, the chip, but super high quality for the money
sounds beautiful
Comments about Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Electric Guitar:
If I ever want another telecaster I will be buying from squire. Why would you want to spend a lot on guitar when you can get this one for about 1/3 of the price. There is nothing I would change on this guitar. Best as is guitar I have played. Like I said earlier the frets could of been taken care better. But overall a real steal for the price.
A bolt on neck very solid, smooth and easy to go up and down the neck. The strap button seems solid. The body is a little heavy but solid. The pickups are real nice, the neck pickup has a very mellow sound to it very different from the bridge pickup which has a lot of treble boost to it. And with both pickups a nice blend of both. From this point I will keep the pickups.
A real nice guitar. The only problem is the frets along the side of the neck could of been sanded a lot smoother, but will not affect playing. A near flawless guitar at this price range.
I applaud squire for making a excellent guitar at an affordable price.i own a squire strat and the same goes with it. Honestly I glad I didn't buy the $399 fender telecaster that I was looking at. A real telecaster sound for a beginner guitarist price range.
