Two ceramic single-coil pickups provide that signature Tele tone — bright, full, and bold. Grab the Squier Affinity Tele here at Sweetwater and hear, feel, and see what countless players over the years have fallen in love with!

Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing

Made from solid maple with a maple fingerboard, the neck on Squier’s Affinity Series Telecaster is designed to deliver a powerful, robust tone and smooth playability — ideal for blistering lead runs and chords up and down the neck. The 21 medium jumbo frets provide you with added playing comfort, so you can continue for hours without hand fatigue. Bends, runs, fingerpicking, and flat-picking all sound great on this beautifully designed, comfortable neck.

Two vintage-style single-coil pickups offer dynamic tone

In order to deliver the crisp, full-bodied sound that the Telecaster is known for, this electric guitar is outfitted with two vintage-style single-coil Tele pickups. These pickups deliver that classic, singing single-coil tone that stays defined even when pushed at higher volumes. Master volume and master tone knobs allow you to dial in the perfect sound for your style.

Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Features:

  • Classic Telecaster feel, tone, and looks at an incredibly affordable price point

Excellent!

Guitar is very, very nice for the price and sounds great!
Rated 5/5

Fantastic for the price!

Great tele for the price. It was well setup from the factory. I tweaked the intonation a little but I'm obsessive about setup. It was very well packaged from the factory and from Sweetwater. The factory packaging is basically 1 and a half boxes and Sweetwater put that in another outer box with some bubble wrap. Much better than some other guitars I've received from retailers that were wrapped and put in a single box. This is my first tele, my first maple fretboard, and my first guitar from Sweetwater. I'm very very happy about all 3.

Pretty Nice Tele!

I've bought a Squire Tele two years ago that sounded nice but needed fret leveling in order to make it playable. Once fixed that issue, the pickups were replaced but weren't that bad, as well as the tuners. Having said that, the fretwork on this one was excellent, no sharp ends and no fret buzzing whatsoever with a pretty low action. The biggest surprise were the pickups. They sound awesome and will stay in this guitar, as I fell in love with the tone. Tuners hold tune well, but will replace with locking tuners as I do on all my guitars. The neck is just perfect. I prefer this axe over my MIM Strat hands down.

Wow

Beautiful finish. Neck is fast and comfortable.
Great working with the sales engineer, Chris.

Couldn't beleive it!

I ordered this expecting a cheap project guitar. I had already ordered upgrade alnico pickups and upgraded electronics. The guitar arrived, well packed, and I was amazed when I took it out of the box. First of all, it was beautiful. As expected, like any new guitar, it needed a little setup. I love the sound of the ceramic pickups and it as surprisingly quiet for a single coil instrument. The tuners work great and, after playing it for a while, the flat finish on the neck has smoothed out nicely.

Bottom line: I kept the original pickups but did change out the electronics with a 4 way switch only to give me a extra tone option; however, it sounded great out of the box. I own a number of nice, brand name, electric guitars but this is the one I go to first now! My only complaint is that they have unnecessarily enlarged the Telecaster style head stock!!!!
