All user reviews of 3/5 for the Squier Affinity Telecaster [1998-2020]

See more advice.

UTILIZATION

Trendy les paul, I wanted a ride "side fender" with the squier.
not at all tempted by the stratum, I wanted to test a telecaster, and not take risks I first made this squier affinity.

So buying opportunity to get an idea.

SOUNDS

I must say that this guitar is great for its price!
more than playable (I have made repeated with true), the sound is quite honorable, the handle is well made, the guitar is well finished overall, do not worry electronics.

Then, looking closer, it just spoils: the highs are too aggressive and fast dry, the neck pickup lacks a bit of roundness, and the handle grip a bit ...

but there are a few tele sound, which is not bad for the price!

short, conquered by the sound, but not the guitar I bought after a fender tele, and it's night and day in terms of quality (the price is not the same either ...)

balance: good guitar to start or telecaster test the mind, but a little light to the real face models, especially if you already know the guitars of good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I kept it a year before moving to a fender.

I would have kept as a backup guitar if I did not want to reduce some of my stock.

Perhaps it can serve as a basis for improvement?

In any case, the ratio Q / P is very interesting and it remains largely a playable guitar for a very affordable price.

Guitar Squier Asian and TC form. Body finish buttescotch rather pretty, quite round and full round.

Purchased from Thomann for 155 euros in order to customize.

Metal parts are moderate but the guitar is a very good surprise in terms of finishing. I have a friend who has an old Blade Butterscotch and was amazed by the quality of Squier

UTILIZATION


Good ergonomics telecaster. The neck is fairly mastoque and reminds me of my Gibson handle 50. Touch is pretty nice even if a time adjustment is needed.

SOUNDS


Rather accurate for the price. The neck pickup is smooth enough, but in the spirit mooins personality and precision than I II SD Anlico on another CT.
The microwave bridge is also in the spirit TC, good clean sound and overdrive, it becomes rather imprecise disto good here but remains faithful to the original but not as good of course ...

OVERALL OPINION


Excellently report QP

Purchased for a project I'm going to end violin conserve wood parts that are really not bad ...

The hardware is perfect.

It's a good guitar and customize a very good beginner guitar ...

Now if you want a good TC without modif ... guide you towards a Classic Vibe ... 2 X more expensive ...
