Squier Affinity Telecaster 2021 - RW Slick Silver Review
The 2021 Squier Affinity Telecaster in RW Slick Silver is a stylish and affordable take on the iconic Fender Telecaster, aimed at beginners and intermediate players. With its sleek aesthetics, upgraded features, and versatile sound, this model continues to uphold Squier's reputation for delivering excellent value.
Design & Build
The Slick Silver finish is a standout, giving this Telecaster a modern and edgy vibe while maintaining its classic appeal. The poplar body provides a lightweight yet resonant platform, ideal for extended practice or gigging sessions.
The bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard (RW) offers a smooth playing experience. The slim "C"-shaped neck profile is comfortable, especially for players with smaller hands, and the satin finish on the back of the neck enhances playability. The 21 medium jumbo frets and 25.5-inch scale length are standard for a Telecaster, ensuring a familiar feel.
Hardware
The Affinity Telecaster comes with a string-through-body bridge featuring individual saddles, which improves sustain and tuning stability. The chrome hardware complements the Slick Silver finish, giving the guitar a polished look.
The tuning machines are solid and reliable, keeping the guitar in tune during extended play. While they aren't premium-grade, they perform well for an instrument in this price range.
Electronics & Sound
This Telecaster is equipped with two ceramic single-coil pickups, delivering the signature Tele twang and bite. The bridge pickup is bright and punchy, perfect for country, rock, and funk rhythms, while the neck pickup offers warm, rounded tones suitable for blues and jazz.
The 3-way pickup selector switch, along with master volume and tone controls, allows for straightforward tonal shaping. The electronics are reliable, though some players might consider upgrading the pickups for a more refined tone as their skills advance.
Playability
The setup out of the box is generally good, with low action and smooth fret edges. The lightweight body and slim neck make it comfortable to play, whether you’re practicing at home or performing on stage.
Pros
- Eye-catching Slick Silver finish with modern appeal

Final Thoughts
The 2021 Squier Affinity Telecaster RW Slick Silver is a fantastic entry point for players looking to experience the classic Telecaster feel and tone at an affordable price. Its stylish finish, reliable hardware, and versatile sound make it a great choice for beginners and a solid backup guitar for seasoned players.
