Squier Affinity Telecaster in Black

This is your essential point of access to iconic Tele verve. The Squier Affinity range captures the core looks, sound and feel of the original legendary Fender guitar - with a few design tweaks to make it as player friendly as possible.

Construction

The Affinity Tele's remastered construction is all about accessibility. The soft "C" neck shape is the modern archetype used for most Squier and Fender guitars, and a great introduction to what you should expect from a Fender-made instrument. The same goes for the maple neck wood, which is an industry standard utilised for its unwavering strength and super smooth feel.

Telecasters are extremely reliable thanks to their classic string-through-body hardtail bridge. Not only does it make it easy to restring, but it plays a major role in keeping your tuning and intonation rock solid throughout hours of play.

Sound

Squier have kitted this particular Affinity Tele out with a pair of ceramic humbuckers, meaning you get a thicker, more contemporary tone than the single coil counterparts. The bridge position humbucker is great for chunky riffing with its dominant voicing, while the neck position pickup is ideal for smooth clean tones and captivating leads.
