MGR/Randy « Squier Affinity Telecaster Special »
Published on 09/28/03 at 15:00Purchased online from MusiciansFriend.com for my birthday. Paid $170
Just about everything. This is a special model that was created for the 2003 Summer season so it has the butterscotch finish with a black pickguard. The neck is maple and so is the fretboard(nice and fast). It comes with basic tuners that are nothing to write home about.
The only issues I've discovered so far are a tendency for a string to buzz every now and then, but that buzzing does not carry over to the amp. The tune of the guitar goes bad if I use my capo between the frets, but that is because I have a high tension capo. I've discovered if I clap almost directly on the fret, I can avoid going out of tune.
The construction is rather solid for it being a bottom-of-the-line guitar. It is not as heavy as a standard tele, but I find it heavy enough. It has a good feel.
This is an excellent guitar for the money. Great for beginners or those with limited funds. You really don't sacrifice sound for this great deal!
