The Squier Affinity Telecaster is Fender's entry-level take on the Telecaster: a thin, lightweight solid body, a slim C-shaped maple neck with a 9.5-inch Indian laurel fretboard, and two Squier single-coil pickups with 3-way switching. It has a string-through-body bridge for resonance and sealed die-cast tuners with split shafts that make restringing easier. It suits beginners and players who want a simple, sturdy first Tele. Against pricier Teles it gives up some hardware and pickup refinement, but it keeps the classic layout and twang that make the model a standard first choice.
