Description
This second hand electric guitar is in good condition
Some dents to the body, and some wear to the fretboard - frets are in good condition and does play very nicely
The 2012 Squier Affinity Telecaster is a budget-friendly workhorse that delivers classic Tele twang at an entry-level price, making it a solid choice for beginners and modders alike.
Design & Build
- Body & Finish: The Affinity Telecaster features a thinner alder body compared to full Fender models, making it lightweight and comfortable for long practice sessions.
- Neck & Playability: A bolt-on maple neck with a satin finish ensures smooth playability. The 21 medium jumbo frets on a rosewood or maple fingerboard (depending on finish) give it a familiar Fender feel, though the fretwork can be inconsistent at this price point.
- Hardware: Standard die-cast tuners and a top-load bridge keep costs down. While functional, tuning stability isn’t as strong as higher-end models, and many players upgrade these parts over time.
Electronics & Tone
- Pickups: Two single-coil Tele pickups deliver the bright, cutting tone Telecasters are famous for. The bridge pickup has that sharp bite perfect for country or indie rock, while the neck pickup offers warmer, rounder tones.
- Controls: A simple three-way selector with master volume and tone knobs keeps things straightforward. The electronics are serviceable but not as refined as Fender’s higher-tier models, with some players reporting noise at higher gain settings.
Sound & Performance
- Strengths: The Affinity Telecaster nails the Telecaster identity, bright, twangy, and versatile enough for blues, rock, and pop. Its lightweight body makes it easy to handle, especially for beginners.
- Limitations: Sustain is limited compared to full-bodied Fender Teles, and the pickups lack the dynamic range of Fender’s Alnico designs. It shines clean but can sound thin under heavy distortion.
Pros
- Affordable entry point into the Telecaster world
- Lightweight and comfortable for practice or gigging
- Classic Telecaster tone and styling
- Great platform for upgrades and mods
The 2012 Squier Affinity Telecaster is best seen as a gateway guitar: it gives beginners the Telecaster look and sound without breaking the bank, and it’s a fantastic modding platform for more experienced players. If you want the Telecaster vibe but aren’t ready to invest in a Fender, this Affinity model is a smart, budget-conscious choice
