			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" src="http://www.electricguitarplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/squier_affinity-_telecaster.jpg" alt="squier affinity  telecaster Squier Affinity Telecaster Special Electric Guitar " title="Squier Affinity Telecaster Special Electric Guitar" />Classic guitar design known around the world for its distinct look and sound. It features a hardwood body, Maple neck and fingerboard, 21 frets, 2 single-coil pickups, 3-way switching, master volume and tone controls, single-ply white pick guard, and a 6-saddle top-load bridge.</p>
<p>To Fender, guitar has always been an extreme sport. It&#8217;s challenging and demanding, yet energizing and fun.</p>
<p><strong>About Squier</strong><br />
Performance and value &#8211; that&#8217;s what Squier is all about. By combining time-tested Fender designs, quality materials, and attention to detail, they have developed a family of affordable guitars, basses, and practice amps unequalled in their class. And for optimum performance, every Squier instrument comes factory-equipped with genuine Fender strings.</p>
<p><em>Don&#8217;t forget to send in the warranty registration card to Fender to receive maximum benefits.</em></p>
<p><strong>Feature:<br />
</strong>THE guitar did not come with accessories. The most useful feature on this guitar would have to be the action. Perfect. I mean PERFECTION! Better than any Fender I&#8217;ve ever played. I wish though that the bridge was string-thru-body. It seems easier that way. Also a better job on the neck please. More finish. It was fast at first but now after 1 1/2 years of daily play, it has worn off.</p>
<p><strong>Quality:</strong><br />
it sounded pretty good as it was, have since changed to a set of tex-mex pickups and now this thing sounds wonderful clean It&#8217;s not noisy at all, a bit of hum, but nothing that is terrible. Very good guitar for beginners as well as more experienced players. It also looks as good as it plays . For turning into a relic. a relic and you don’t have the cash this is the thing to go for. It has a fast neck, smooth action, very stable tuning. And most importantly an excellent tone. It doesn&#8217;t buzz when you play it either.</p>
<p>The only difference I noticed was that the Squier had a little more hum than the Fender. That can be fixed, however, with some of Fender&#8217;s best pickups. It is an excellent guitar for anyone. For those who are more serious players, it can be tweaked to sound and feel like a Fender. Good guitar.</p>
<p><strong>Sound:<br />
</strong>it sounded pretty good as it was, have since changed to a set of tex-mex pickups and now this thing sounds wonderful clean It&#8217;s not noisy at all, a bit of hum, but nothing that is terrible. Played it on stages, in recording studios. This I can swear by: the sound equals if not surpasses the standard Fender model&#8217;s! Professional results through and through.</p>
<p><strong>Value:<br />
</strong>Excellent value per $$ paid!!! I think it is a reasonable price for the tele, but probably about $20 less is perfect, if your looking for a guitar that is in your price range this guitar is the best. you will love it. <a href="http://www.zzounds.com/a--994248/item--SQU0310203">Check Latest Price</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Desirability:<br />
</strong>I&#8217;d love to own one again, although I have to admit I prefer the American series Tele I currently play&#8230;</p>
<p>But, if you are an intermediate guitar player and don&#8217;t have the budget and want to buy it, I recommend you 2 things: 1. new pair of pickups. 2. new set of tuning keys. That&#8217;s what I did and can enjoy it from time to time, when I&#8217;m in the mood of playing some blues or some soft rock.</p>
<p><strong>Overall:<br />
</strong>A guitar that&#8217;s excellent value per $ paid. Delivers more than it promises. If treated with care will supply years and years of joy.<br />
TO HAVE THIS GUITAR AND LIKE IT YOU MUST MEET THESE QUALIFICATIONS<br />
1. YOU ARE A BEGINNER OR AN INTERMEDIATE &#8220;PICKER&#8221;<br />
2. YOU ARE PATIENT<br />
3. YOU DON&#8217; MIND SOME DINGS, CHIPPINGS, OR SCRATCHES</p>
<p>If you meet these, buy it without thinking twice. If you don&#8217;t meet any one of these, walk away and don&#8217;t look back at Affinity series. I am upgrading to a Squier standard tele in 6 months. I just don&#8217;t think this guitar will hold up FOR ME for another year. I can feel it falling apart and really ticking me off. But again, I am picky (I about cried when i chipped it) and very impatient. Its your call. If you meet those qualifications, buy it; if not, please don&#8217;t. Go a little higher like Squier Standard or Fender Standard.</p>
