Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Butterscotch Blonde




This review is from: Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Butterscotch BlondeFor the money, I have absolutely no complaints about this guitar. It was well-intonated and set up from the factory, and it stays in tune quite well. I'm using D'Addario 9-42's and love the way it plays and sounds. Not mind-blowing pickups, but they're not noisy and nothing has come loose. Yeah, the nut's cheap thin plastic, but that's an easy upgrade. After it was in the house a few dry winter months I had to file the fret ends a bit too, but you've gotta expect that sort of thing. This is the kind of guitar that a beginner would probably not appreciate, thinking that dollars equal quality, but for somebody who knows better, this axe is a real sleeper. The maple neck is very high quality, tight grained wood, with a comfy and fast profile, and the whole guitar is light. It's my everyday player and I couldn't be happier with it....

This review is from: Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Butterscotch BlondeI purchased this as my first ever electric guitar. I can safely say that I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Initially I was a little skeptical about buying such a low cost guitar because I had heard that they didn't sound too good and went out of tune easily. However, at the same time I couldn't justify spending $300 on my first guitar. So after reading a few reviews, I chose this guitar. I am EXTREMELY pleased and satisfied with my purchase and would buy this guitar again without hesitation. Let me tell you, this guitar sounds amazing and it stays IN TUNE! It has awesome sustain and that classic Telecaster sound and feel. How many guitars below $200 can you say that about? This is definitely a guitar that will last you many years. I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a low-cost Telecaster. I just only wish they had this very same model in different colors but that doesn't really matter in this price range. You WANT this guitar! It is amazing....

This review is from: Squier by Fender Affinity Telecaster, Butterscotch BlondeThis guitar is an amazing specimen. The tone alone is worth twice what it costs here, and then there's the look of it. The photos just don't do the piece justice. The grain on the body is exemplary. On the back you can see one joint line, but on the front, it is invisible completely, yet the guitar has no obvious veneer on the top. With a good amp, it's the genuine Tele tone by the bucketload. Mine arrived set up excellently, I had already booked a trip to the shop to have it professionally worked on, but it needed nothing. Right out of the box, it needed to be tuned and that was IT. No fiddling with the saddles, no goofing with the truss rod, no nothing. un-box, tune, and boom-chicka-boom your way into a Luther Perkins lick like the man himself. Even as a confirmed Strat guy, I'm sold on the Tele. It's not greatly uncomfortable to play, the neck is a teeny bit thicker (but narrower, so it works out well for stubby fingers). In short, if you like the classic Tele twang, and you've got a couple hundred, this guitar will be awesome for your needs....
