UTILIZATION

the handle is super nice, I own a Washburn WI14 whose handle is far less comfortable even if it is not bad.
form is a telecaster bah what we're going to criticize it's still a type of guitar legend.
the guitar is fairly light.
in terms of access to acute I'm not complaining, however I do not go often often ^ ^

SOUNDS

it is a very versatile guitar. not as a strato but you can already play with such an instrument. I use a vox AD15VT and guitar rig 3 and AmpliTube. the output levels of the guitar is balèze!

OVERALL OPINION

I do not regret my purchase.
the only small thing I did not like it the original color of the pickguard, white. I therefore replaced by a black 3 ply: p and there is sublime

affinity telecaster left
made in China, fixed bridge
c maple neck very soft and fine
21 frets 2 single coil pickups, 3 position switch, volume, tone

UTILIZATION

handle very pleasant, fine, very soft touch "open pore" access to acute very good I put 9 without problem, too bad there are only 21 boxes
its level is really found the sound very "right" with the neck pickup, and a great sound nervous and biting bridge pickup

SOUNDS

as I said above, the sound is really good, only downside of the neck pickup has an output level a bit low, especially when moving the microphone then acute, but hey, it's still acceptable, I glue a 8.5, this guitar has a very good potential, I love it, down, despite being in Maple does not provide acute screaming like you would expect, but it provides super clear sound magnified by the single coils

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a week and I am total addict, I have yet a strat United States, Japan and a row ... a Lag Bédarieux love, but I like the sound precise, soft as a caress round of chick, and I wonder: if a Chinese TV is as well that should be a model America??!

Crafted in china, 21 frets Saddle button, microphone type tl Std: slect 3 positions, 1 vol, 1 tone. std easel. . .

UTILIZATION

The handle is extra, acute CHAC is relatively easy on the neck is satin varnish and does not slide too fast but polished playing trs. Its weight is acceptable since trs thickness of the body Reduces. the sound is that of tl not worry!

SOUNDS

For my part, I play blues / rock, not easy to tame, the mcaniques really m.. Dique, electronics as well, and varnish finish level body leaves adsirer: after one week white spots appeared, ireffutable proof that the wood is green! is a skyscraper of beginners and it takes a lot of mods to be really happy. I started by changing the electronics, all fender biensr United States! in terms of microphones (not rotten, but almost) I have also changed for DiMarzio Twang King dp 172 dp 173 for neck and bridge for bk. I still have a change mcaniques and you're playing. ultimately extra quality for less than 500 euros! I put 4 for the original quality and 8 with the changes, not 10 as the wood is not dry, it will be better in a year.

OVERALL OPINION

I play with for a week 1 / 2, the handle is great, all the curves filled my hand. what I like least is the quality-General for the acastillage, qualitprix level is nothing to say because its price is less than that of a race! 230 euros.

Made in China
21 frets
rglages: volume knob, and tonalitbr /> selector 3 positions (too big and poorly placed on the mound in wild rhythm, replace it with a selecteut of strata.)
cls inaccordables and trs dsaccordant fast ...
drglant easel is alone due to vibration (yes indeed)

5 because of the quality of matrial

UTILIZATION

Channel super-enjoyable (the best I got), end
Access in acute comfortable
ergonomics ... the edges of the guitar are not rounded like the stratocaster, less comfort
Guitar lgre both solid and
the sound is splendid, the twang of tl is the squier pickups but the lack of potatoes.
Trs good sustain

SOUNDS

Ah the sound of the tlcaster ...
Coutes led zeppelin 1 and 2 ...

rhythm guitar crunch to its clear
well in arpges
trs well as in solos (most of my characters got a strat)
the bass sounds nice but not powerful trs.

good for the squier good sound but lacks some EHJV

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years
I love this guitar
I think changing to fit cls finally agreed, and microphones to save power

with more money, it is better to take us directly (highway), but for the price of dpart and with modifications honreuses too, we get for less than 500 euros a great guitar.

for 150 euros is the best!

Factory in China as the registration prcise crafted in China on the back of the head!
In the era it was a SERIES limit, only the colors Butterscotch,
but since this color is available on the Tl Affinity

Pickguard black or white depending on the stores
Alder body
Channel mapple

UTILIZATION

Trs enjoyable round, satin varnish provides a "gliding" perfect
Not always well finished frets on the edges, a hand rub a little on the edges of the handle!
The mcaniques are enjoyable and reliable at the moment
Squier correct weight because this is less a real Paisse Tlcaster (40 mm against 45 mm)

SOUNDS

Sound that suits me but as I played only with headphones, so I can not give
crdible an opinion on the subject

OVERALL OPINION

Some problem finishing as poorly finished frets on the edges or the pickguard not always
trs dcoup well but that does not impede and really does not affect the sound of the guitar is
The most important
For cons, the body of the guitar is beautiful and trs assembly of three parts trs RALIS well,
they are distinguished only, I thought even that is silent in one pice!

I possde since 2003 and so far I have not encountered any problem with mcaniques
which are well agreement with a draft standard of 9-42, the micro slecteur still works
correctly

In short a nice little Squier trs, trs lower its price will forget the small default finishes
and allow the lovers to Tlcaster possder a little without breaking the bank
A good value trs qualitprix

Price gnralement observation in France: 250 euros

Squier tele akin, made in China if I am correct.
21 frets
2 mic like all the tele
3 position selector micro tele like all the
1 volume
1 tone

Although it is not sure the quality of US but the key is there.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice and suits me perfectly, I tried the Mexican series and the difference is minimal, lergonomie is the same for American series in a little less well finished so I do not complain.
In terms of weight it properly.
Is getting good sound is easy, you know a jack plug, put the volume, set a tone and how it uses micro? Everything works as hell.

SOUNDS

Quite simply everyone has a fetish Gratt and I have found mine, so it suits me for the sound! I play with a FERDER FM 65 R 2 together and walk nickel, and also a DS-1 pedal. I get the sound I want from mild to warm crystal-clear, foil ... etc.. properly for a tele! Personally I like all the sonoritée a condition to play this match. That's good since I am rather Polivalente, I get to play big thing very powerful rock metal or simple walks variety or music.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 1moi and a half of thunder and it works. I tried quite a model, I needed a model and the tele Gammla price there is no mass (220 €). I find the money RAPORT very acceptable for a budget. I do it again this choice indegniablement ... unless I had more good tune for sure probably an American series.

Guitar Asian manufacturing
2 single coil pickups
easel massive and solid (very close to the US model)
SETTINGS: Volume 1 tonalitbr 1 /> 3-position selector
Mapple handle

UTILIZATION

Handle very enjoyable (like all squier should be tried on a 15 to fall out of a good series "finishing + rglages"
Access in an acute ditto tele us
body thinner than a tele or Mexic lgre us longer (but not too much)
telecaster's "plug and play" slamming trs

SOUNDS

I plugged into an Orange Crush 15R amp
I have a big sound that can be lacking sometimes in the gain medium
trs sound is close to the Mexican tele
I play knob personal background with selector in the middle

OVERALL OPINION

It's been two years since I played with
no problem finishing and no failure
I have tried many guitars and some Mexican telecaster Us
but I had no budget
excellent quality price (squier amlior since it is monitoring more than increased production by fender)
I do not regret that choice, but try to board 10 before buying one
(There are better series finished on the same model)

Made in China, 21 frets thin, two microphones simple good qualities, a fixed bridge, one volume, one tone, one switch, a handle end, easy to grip, what a TV ...

UTILIZATION

The handle thickens do not fret too much about the latest in style fender, handles nice, easy, with a good feeling, we regret the muzzle to the belly and the one for the forearm but hey, it's not a stratovolcano. It is light as a feather. We get lots of sounds, all positions of selector is used and interesting, we are surprised to discover: the sound is ZZ Top, Led Zep is the sound, is sound policy, in fact we discover how this guitar is incredibly simple rich in its variety.

SOUNDS

You can not ask him to do the trash, whatever his side slamming the attack of the notes gives him an edge that goes well with this style. simple microphones become noisy at high saturations. all sounds are good, power insoupsonnée in acute sound "solid", more serious flutter with the microphone. for the blues zz top debut this may be the guitar for you. the sustain is not great, but by crossing the strings through the body is improved things (for hackers).

OVERALL OPINION

The finish is often poor, it is not unusual to find pieces of wood that blocked the first one mounting holes of the handle a little stripped (example). A auscultation before buying, if not for the price it gives a good idea of ​​the mind TV, unique, inimitable. you need a TV in his collection, like a les paul or a stratovolcano. it's amazing how many sounds known that this guitar generated, we do not realize it until you have tasted. It is much stronger than that to believe. a very large rock guitar.

Made in China country known for c scratch
21 frets
2 "microphones" in reality simple magnets
1 vol, 1 tune, a switch 3 positions
Bolt

UTILIZATION

Handle relatively pleasant
easy access to the last fret asymmetry requires
good balance slightly
good sound with the knob flight background

SOUNDS

I purchased it suited me nirvana period but my musical tastes have changed my opinion on the scratching of same
connected to a 110 sent through a ds1 and correct the distortion and the sound panel EXTENDED
the sound is crisp and clear dificil get a low volume

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 5 years
purchased for the look and the single coil pickups
aged very badly: rusted screws, input jack detached
first guitar
value for / discount
after troubleshooting a recess 400 sg I remake the same choice over

So it's a telecaster everything from classic, an easel to 6 bridges, two singles, a huge 3-position selector, 1 volume and 1 tone.
Good point on the bridge to six bridges much easier to solve than three bridges.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not that of a fender telecaster, it is thinner better. Beginners will be delighted. The access to high pitched pretty well, in relation to a Telecaster. Obviously for the 18 ° 19 ° and 20 ° box it thickens a little, but it's very respectable violin making from a TV.
It is a very light guitar, fairly well assembled, although there are some flaws really minimal.

A very pleasant guitar playing and take a long time.

SOUNDS

So it was obviously not one of his telecaster to € 2000 for 10 times less important to dream ...
The bridge pickup is surly in full, bright and clean as snapping, it's rather a nice over-excited. The neck pickup is quite dark against very flat and not too creamy like dynamic, anti-funky enough for the shot. It is therefore very important contrast between the two was a bit like falling asleep when we pass the guitar neck pickup. The middle position gives a fairly balanced when his / neutral goes well everywhere.

OVERALL OPINION

I think before it's a great guitar for beginners. Nice handle, its not dégeu, no vibrato, just two microphones, a tuning that would like good grip quite simple (maybe not a strat autand, but they are so shit with the microphone and the central vibrato ...) a treat as a teacher.

To use it a little further on but it will also do see a change of two microphones to better balance the sound. I will turn the handle for another slam, but a little more each his own.

- Chinese Manufacture
- 21 frets 2 microphones
- Bridge Telecaster (without crossing the body of the guitar)
- Vol 1 - Tone 1
- Telecaster Channel

UTILIZATION

- The handle is very comfortable and easy access to high-pitched
- Solid body but thinner and lighter than TVs or US MEX.
- The TV.

SOUNDS

- Well suited for rock and country
- I use a VOX VT60 or Split frontman + echo chamber pre-vox
- The typical TV

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 2 months from time to time because I usually played on a Fender Stratocaster and a 1964 Jaguar but I wanted to test a TV.
- I like the typical TV
- BIG PROBLEM: the replacement string is super hard because unlike other TVs, Affinity Series has a bridge that the strings do not pass through the body of the guitar. It should loosen almost all bridges to pass the new strings (which are necessary because the original strings are of very poor quality)
- Very good quality / price ratio but it is a guitar for beginners
- If it again, I would buy a US model.

Note before starting this test, that I bought used for half the original price, I do not know Qualle year it is.
I have owned a lot of much more expensive guitar.
I've played a 20-year ene
on mienen after removal, the switch is in my opinion not home because I was super contribution by a squier tried new store, in fact, the selector is the brand mienen Schaller.

Well I finally put 8 because Elela of all, a great and everything works (see below)

UTILIZATION

Before starting quyi detail ason importance, mine is used, the paint redone a sagoins, but otherwise it nikel, so I do not know if mine is uen super series, and if the new are identical.

The handle, well duffer, Elele much is it ????? 200 euros new, no, it's not possible?
Mr. bin if it is ,,,,,,,, 30 years ago or, for guitar uen correct there were two or three brands, and especially pay 10 000 bullets
the handle is awesome for the price, it is a desire end, it glides well, it is beautiful, the strings are very close to the handle and do not curl.
This guitar does not Disagree, even after three hours to repeat nikel.

SOUNDS

Ben can be done with a lot of zik different, just need a good amp and play SETTINGS available.
I note that plugs into a Peavey Classic 30 amp that fits this guitar, because I suspect that plugged into an amp 15 watt entry-level ca not be jojo view that the guitar has no bass and the heat of the model which it is based ..

sounds clear, well what to say, sublime
in the neck position, the microphone is severe, acute discrete playing the tone, not progressive Moreover, in three quarters of the race, nothing is happening, then suddenly darkened ca sound, thus is only 10/100 of the race is exploitable, making it difficult to set to scene, same for the volume, usable only on 10/100 early in the race.
knobs to change so look, the guitar is quite usable in that state. So, playing with the tone, you can easily raprocher of a more or stratabound Gibsonian (heads kept proportions.
the microphone is a grave seems soft, so to do with a microphone type fender tex, or otherwise.
This is my favorite position of micro, while on other guitars I always play with the neck pickup.
the middle position is great, we keep the serious, but we add these immediately recognizable acute, it shines, it's great, we just make casseroles, funk, tip top.

micro acute ben ca has pattate, impressive, but it was used alone or mixed with another skyscraper, which is obtained by one against his very interesting playing with the tone, well regulated, you get a store just enough treble, and keep this very telecasterienne ataque.
Note that this is my only guitar and sometimes I play on the bridge pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week, I already removed and then repainted.
I love everything about cetet guitar, there was nothing to throw when taking into account the price
I once owned guitars that 'my most
Epiphone Les Paul Std, Variax, etc. ....
the sguitares dcevantes, Kramer, floyd lag.
value for money is phenomenal
yes I do it again this choice, in fact departing I bought it to see, for uen guitar in case of failure of the Variax, well finally it may well be my 2nd guitar just like the first.

I must say that I play on a classic 30, and the settings compenssent in my opinion the body is compared to a fender tele.

25/05/2006 I edit the TV mounted micro mexico 50's and even better, the price really for a great guitar, it is not Disagree, it a great race very late, good for pudgy doights

Does everything said, I will not do my ball on this one the

UTILIZATION

This scraper is super easy to play, the neck is super thin and super soft, Access in acute is uh, telecasterien what, not a flying v c either, but still playable.
It is super lightweight and super balance, super enjoyable to wear.
APRS question its, c a telecaster, so it is dirty, the neck pickup just needs to be raised is a little low output of cardboard, or a loss of volume, against a time c fact, it was a very good sound fonky dgueu plus P Funk that the kool and the gang ...

SOUNDS

While the scratches in the sound I love, precisely because it is dirty, more dirty than 1200 US fender, telecaster over my mind. The output level is a bit tight, but personal since I attack like a pig, c just right. She loves fonk dirty, blues and country music pickup in palm mute (live johnny cash).
Knowing that I bought when I DJ a custom shop tele US SERIES limit, and it costs 200, I have to prfre larger models of the same in Japanese and USFI Corenne stamps and fender, which I think are a little flat (like the lite ash, what a joke this skyscraper.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a little over a year this bbete and personal I kiffe.
So yes, it has a pretty impressive background, so if a is in one year it will be dead, but shit, it costs only 200. I took my Paske is a custom shop tele / strat / les paul (oh yeah, there was the critters and not a pure tele and I wanted one, tele pure, aggressive, loud and violent, and exactly what I c, c the hyper power class.
I say, for the price it MRIT 14/10 at least ...

Dj said before, has not changed since!

UTILIZATION

Super-sleeve, while it seems Saddle. A real rgale for small hands!
-The Access in acute remains correct without being exeptionnel finally is not the primary purpose of the guitar to go on DLIR in the treble, so normal.
Guitar-lgre enough, easy to play sitting as standing.
"It's not complicated one branch, a ring ...

SOUNDS

-I play mostly rock, blues and heavy, and she is perfect in all its styles!
"I use a Peavey Blazer 158 amp TransTube, so it's not an example of power and efficiency but it spits out the lil plutt saligot and it matches the guitar I think. No effect used for the time off the mid-reverb amp.
-In his clear is blubbering limit how beautiful! I really love the neck position, even if this is sorely lacking micro power ... The sound is really nice, very heavy! I love! For the saturated I mainly use the bridge pickup is really filthy and argnieux! I think the middle position is somewhat bland in the end, because it is nothing less than the neck pickup with less power ... I do not see much use ...

OVERALL OPINION

I possde this guitar for over a year and I'm really happy! I wanted at all costs but a telecaster with a budjet trssrr MODEL silent only that my port. I was not trying to empch MODELS honnreux over which a fender mexico. And frankly the price difference is I believe unfair! Because the sound of Split is really flat, too smooth, too dirty. I think a change of microphone is necessary even when, especially for the neck pickup, though the sound it produces is really a big favorite, the lack of power is really dsagrable s' it is to switch the microphone for a solo or if you do not want to push the amp too! It's a good guitar to start without spending a fortune and be a telecaster and well worth it despite the claims of some. I spend a Gibson Melody Maker now and frankly there is a difference of power and quality back but I love my little tv once in a while! I would do really choice!
