MGR/Ben Wright « Squier Affinity Telecaster »
Published on 04/05/04 at 15:00I bought this guitar at rock steady music in England for £100 reduced from £150 that is about $180 from $250.
great price, its a good starter guitar but i have started to grow out of it now. the pickups give out a relatively good sound for two single coils occasionally tinny sound but an alright price.
After about two weeks of playing, the guitars bridge pickup broke. i took this to the shop aand they were going to charge me about $30 for a new pickup. i went home and unscrewed it and all there was was a loose wire. After this the input broke due to a very flimsy screw.
I have a Marshall MG 10 practice amp obviously not very loud, and even if you put this on the brigde pickup and use distortion over half way, the amp will screech. i wasnt very pleased with this.
the construction in my opinion is poor. the screw and the wire as well as minor drops that can take large chunks out of it.
i think that this is a good starter guitar but it would NO WAY suite an intermediate guitarist. there is not enough variety for what you can do with this guitar and it takes a good amp head to turn out a good tone.
