A mistake from Squier
Comiendo_Trastes 20.10.2024
I bought it after watching the YouTube analysis from Alamo Music Center.
In fact I bought two of them to give one as a present to my brother.
And I can say they were right about the guitar...
...But there's one and only one thing that made me return this guitar: the mast finish.
In my opinion, Squier made one mistake here: instead of spending time and resources sticking a veneer on top of the body, they should've finished the mast.
Because the wood on the back was actually beautiful. It would have made the same aesthetic effect as the current veneer, and even a more authentic feeling.
I can't understand how they made this absurd decision to bring to the market a winner guitar with such a flaw that affects the playability so hugely.
Because the moment you grab it, you have the feeling it's a Quality Control miss. But no, they produce them like that.
The feeling if that you're grabbing a non finished instrument from the factory.
In fact, I could perfectly felt two points where the skunk strip clearly was higher than the maple around. Not just with the tip of my fingers, but with my palm. Incredible.
I don't know how this unprotected mast will behave in changing dry/moist, high temp./low temp. environments, but it gave me no confidence at all.
The rest is EXCELLENT FOR THE PRICE.
Aesthetics are impressive.
The joint between mast and body, perfect.
FRETS were almost perfect in height (some highs and lows), but rugged on the surface (not a problem) and a bit sharp on the edges (not dramatically).
The ceramic PICKUPS have quite high output. Not a vintage approach here. Not very clear and the humbucker is not splittable, but they work well.
The SUSTAIN unplugged is quite good: I compared them to a Jet Guitars JT-350 SH BK and the sustain was better in the Squier. Like substantialy better.
The electronics are quite decent and so are the tuners. For the price.
The cable jack worked well.
I must say that on one of the guitars there was a loose screw on one saddle. One of those tiny ones that adjust the saddle's height.
Would I recommend it?
If you own a workshop and can easily sand and paint the mast for free, get it. It's a beauty, and very confortable.

Squier Affinity Telecaster HS
Rory Clacher 28.03.2025
Ordered the Telecaster as I already own a Classic vibe, and I was wanting a Tele with the Humbucker at the neck. The guitar was delivered quickly and securely. The quality of the finish is superb, a deep red lustre with the grain showing through. The sound is exactly as anticipated a warm tone with growl and bite when desired. The neck feels right with great action.

Preis/Leistung = Hammer!
Cäsar 03.02.2025
Ich spiele überwiegend zu Hause, und habe mir diese Gitarre ausgesucht um 1. bequemes Spielen im Sitzen auf dem Sofa zu ermöglichen und 2. um vielseitige Soundmöglichkeiten zu haben. Sie wiegt 3,7 Kg, durch das Shaping auf der Rückseite drückt nichts am Schnitzelfriedhof ;und im Stehen gespielt mit einem breiten Gurt ist das sehr angenehm. Die Verarbeitung und das Finish sind für diesen Preis Top! Oktavreinheit ab Werk passt ( wohl sehr selten). Sattelkerben perfekt, keine Nacharbeit nötig. Hals leicht konkav war mit dem mitgelieferten Inbus schnell korrigiert. Mechaniken: kein Spiel, Stimmung wird gut gehalten.
Bünde an den Kanten teilweise ganz leichter Grat, kaum zu spüren, leicht zu Korrigieren. Kein kratzen oder absterben des Tones beim Saiten ziehen.
Potis laufen satt, Dreiwegschalter ok. Humbucker ok Single Coil nicht so scharf und grell wie bei der Original Tele. Mittelstellung klingt ähnlich wie der Singlecoil am Hals einer Fender. Für mich für das Geld ein Tolles Teil, man könnte modifizieren, muss es aber nicht. Fretboard war trocken nach Behandlung mit Öl kam eine tolle Maserung zum Vorschein.
Wollte erst eine TE 52 holen, wegen des Gewichts und des Humbuckers und weil ich nicht unbedingt den Original Telesound brauche habe ich mich für die Affinity entschieden. Out of the Box mit wenigen Handgriffen nachbearbeitet, für mich ein tolles Instrument.

Tolle Gitarre zum unschlagbaren Preis
Gaasserocker 24.12.2024
Sehr schöne Gitarre zu einem sehr guten Preis. (Rot mit Humbucker)
Die Gitarre sieht wirklich klasse aus und ist sehr gut verarbeitet.
Der unbehandelte Hals fühlt sich gut an und ist auch gut bespielbar.
Die Gitarre ist klasse eingestellt, die Pickups klingen für diese Preisklasse top und ausgewogen. Der Stegpickup rockt und der Humbucker kommt warm bluesig daher. Da die Gitarre leicht ist, ist sie etwas kopflastig.
Hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen - cooles Teil!
