Approachable yet enhanced—that's what those of us at Musician's Friend thought when we got our hands on the Squier Affinity Series Deluxe Telecaster. As a beginner's electric guitar, we love that this Tele comes equipped with some serious step-up features. And with the accessible price point, it'll be the guitar you'll love playing for years to come.

A thinner, lightweight body for enhanced playability


 For improved resonance and better player comfort, Squier looked to the body construction of the Affinity Series. The thinner body gives this Tele a warmer sound while also improving the playability. You'll feel more in-control of your playing as well. If you want a guitar that's comfortable and easy to pick up and play, this one has you covered.

Comfortable playing from the C-shaped neck


 Building on player comfort and ease, these Affinity Telecasters also feature a slim C-shaped neck. The shape is designed to keep you comfortable, and is ideal for most styles of playing. Paired with a maple fingerboard, you'll find it's easy to get a snappy, articulate response.

Upgraded hardware for better resonance and control

For versatility and control over your sound, two proprietary Squier humbucking pickups put you in charge. Each pickup offers individual volume and tone controls, so you can adjust your Affinity Tele as you see fit. The string-thru-body hardtail bridge offers optimized sustain and resonance. Other improvements include the sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts to help you achieve a smoother, more accurate tuning. This feature also makes it easier to restring your Telecaster when the time comes.
