View Full DescriptionClassic look
If you love Fender, odds are, you love the Telecaster. From its rich history starting out named the Broadkaster to its tone that has been played for decades by legends, it’s simply an icon. And you immediately get this impression when looking at the Squier FSR Affinity Telecaster. The sleek black finish beautifully complements the four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard making you look both stylish and professional. Elements like the knurled flat top controls and single cutaway body add splashes of recognisable class that will have you feeling like you can take on any song. Own your version of history.
Modern playability
Having smooth playability makes all the difference. Which is why Squier have adapted the classic Telecaster construction in this model. The C- shaped neck fits snug in your hand making it easier for you to slide up and down while making chord transitions and riffing. And it’s made from satin urethane finished maple. This means that picking up speeds with your fretting hand is effortless as it glides along the silky surface, and the maple adds a distinct brightness to your tone. So, you won’t only fall in love with the look of this guitar, but the experience of it as well.
Versatile tones
It’s a renowned instrument. But you’re an individual. Although this model remains true to the original Telecaster design of two single-coil pickups and a three-way selector, that doesn’t mean you can’t sound modern. You’ll find that the standard single-coil tele pickups are incredibly versatile. From bright and twangy at the bridge-position to more warm and mellow at the neck, it’s effortless for you to inject your own nuances and project your style. Whatever that may be. Manipulate the volume and tone controls for even more control over your sound and create a tone that cuts through.
