You can actually scratch the scratch plate with your fingernail.
Got one of these on a fluke several years ago at GC used in mint condition.I recall had a twenty dollar coupon, so I paid $60 out the door. A steal.
Hopefully get one with the string through for my beginner learning guitar
Anyone who has his guitar, is your neck cavity routed for a humbucker like in the video? I’ve seen some are and some aren’t my guess is the newer ones are?
Would you suggest this or the surf green one you reviewed?
Just bought my 8 yr old daughter one for her 9th birthday. Hope she loves it!
The way he was holding it at the start initiated my fight or flight
Your gonna be a badass no matter what you play through. Spending all that money on a over priced guitar does not make you better. Put better pick-ups and call it a day. Prince did a show with an off the shelf Squire at the L.A forum. Need I say more!
Watching your live stream in 2021, where someone asked if they should buy one, and you said- “uh, yes!’. That must have lingered in my brain for a few days. Stuck inside during the COVID-19 lockdown, I felt like I need guitar #11 so went on eBay and bought one out of Texas. Great price, new- even when adding exchange rate, shipping and duty. Sweetwater isn’t shipping to Canada; current Amazon Canada seller, super-inflated at this time. Hey, I just found this YouTube now, tho it was your 2021 tip that hit me, as I know Landon is one incredible Telecaster aficionado. And player, so thanks. The Harley Benton SC Junior from Thomann’s Germany was also a great review/score/purchase. Thx.
Thanks for the excellent thorough demo , i'm thinking of getting this. Not as a first guitar , just because i don't own a Fender currently. Update couldn't resist , Amazon made an offer I couldn't refuse , haha. Price was to good to pass on with one day shipping! Wife will hit the roof again on my ninth guitar , oh well!
Best guitar review I've ever seen! Going to buy that guitar, but I'm lefty, is it necessary to modify it in guitar workshop or I can just reverse the strings without making it unplayable?
god, I am officially out of excuses for being terrible!
I just biught one of these and it came with a cancer warning. California 65 warning. WTF is that about. Is the guitar made with some dangerous materials
I have the same Tele, had almost the same pro/con list, mine has a flawless body with no visible knots like yours and I wasn't sold on the ceramic pickups, they don't quite have that Tele "twang" for me. What I have since done is 1) Replaced the pickups with cheap ($10 on ebay) AlNiCo ones. 2) Replaced the pots and switch for better quality, I also used audio taper for the volume. 3) Replaced the tuners for locking ones after the gears stripped on one. 4) Installed a Tusq string tree.
After all the upgrades, this has become the go-to Tele for recording with the 90's American Tele Plus V1 left hanging on the wall.
My very first guitar, I will cherish it
Great review. Super thorough and excellent playing. Just bought one for my son.
in the states there around 175$
Good video, nice camera work thinking about gettin one myself after watching this video.
100% gonna buy this
3:48 THANK YOU !
I just ordered one for $199.00 free shipping. changing to a black pick guard, black knobs and black roller trees. These and the Bullet series are great guitars for the money and you can Mod the shit out of them.
I lovely review , more restraint less excitement, almost reverential ( Ha ha) letting the guitar speak for itsself. Sold I've just ordered.
Great Guitars
You don't play heart of life like that
What is the song on the beginning? / What cords are those?
I really love how it sounds
can anyone tell me what colour is that?
Waiting for mine to be delivered today. Thanks Dagan
I have the same one but mine has a neckdive
That color is mad underrated. Butterscotch blonde is nice and all, but that silver color contrasts so well with the fretboard and pickguard.
What song did he play at the start for his intro
Review fender/squier jim root telecaster please!
What song is this I forgot the name 2:52
what amp ya using?
The fretboard isn't rosewood but Indian laurel
Debating between this and the Paranormal Toronado. Any ideas?
What is the very first song he plays?
I need a tele un muy life
i'm getting one for my birthday:D
There's a difference, the new model 2020 made in Indonesia is really bad. The fretwork is really bad with marks on the fretboard dued to the fret crowning. The setup is horrible, i found 2 pieces of sand paper as a neck shimmer inside the neck pocket. The guitar is also not cleaned, there are wood chips and plastic chips on the pickups. It looks like an $80 guitar. Quality control sucks.
I'm searching for the Chinese one now, those were really good guitars.
Still sounds amazing
Shame the limited edition one was shite it had different pickups I hated it was heavyeir than my starcaster strat came with a tourtouise shell pickguard which was nice though. I should of bought the normal one dagen playing now saving for offest tele
i was pretty set on the surf green color until i saw this videothe arctic white looks so premiummm
Taken dôme lesson
I am looking for a Tele and as I am on a rather tight budget I was looking for Squiers. I have the feeling that this guitar sounds quite sharp. Is this true? Also, there seems to be very little sustain, especially for a Telecaster. Or i that just me again?
My plan was to swap the pickups, bridge and tuners anyway so I am hesitating start with an Affinity or a Classic Vibe.
Pickups I would consider are the 51 Nocasters.
Cheers and thanks!
Does it look white or more of a light cream? I’m not too sure with my own eyes
Now the affinity isn't string through I would get one if it was like older ones with the string through body
Buy the courteny love telecaster that kurt used and bye the way can you give me a shout out
The Toyota Camry of Tele's! :)
Just bought a 2020 edition in butterscotch, needs a set up, a couple of high frets which I can live, apart from that it plays and sounds pretty good but got to say I'm disappointed with the butterscotch finish, much thicker up around the neck area so much so you can't see the wood grain like you can on the rest of the body, was going to send it back but to be honest it plays well enough and that's the main thing.
Just got myself affinity telecaster in black, my first guitar! Looking forward to my learning journey
Beautiful guitar. Are the frets sharp?
It's a nice guitar
I just got mine few months back. But it was listed Sonic Blue. Not Arctic White.
Perfect video Telecaster stands on it's commitment for clean tone . Nice video .
I don't understand if the guitar is more yellow or more white I'm tempted to buy it for midwest emo, but I really can't understand the color, in some pics on the net is yellow, in other is white i'm confused.
Can you help me ? :(
I think you've got to put up a waiver, Rob. "The Meat Manifesto is not liable if you go out and spend all your money to purchase guitars from my demo's." Cheers!
Im asking for this one for Christmas I’m so excited
Was this with any pedals or amp effects or just the raw sound of the guitar
Definitely gonna get this for a first guitar love the review
I saw this once years ago and haven't been able to find it in my country since :( Love it!
I’m just starting guitar and I got a Butterscotch Tele and so far I love it
Rippin it up with a Squier Telecaster today.
What do you think of modern day Squier? Are they better then they were or do they still suck?
I bought a Squier affinity tele on black friday. I to noticed the neck
pickup had a lower volume and darker then the bridge and noticed it was
far away from the strings. I opened it up and it's screwed to the bottom
of the pickup cavity with no way of adjustment. Then i noticed that
replacement pickups were adjustable. I told myself, it can't be that
simple could it? So I took a couple of pickup springs I had laying
around and installed them under each tab of the pickup, so as I turned
the screws in and out, it adjusted the pickup height. I adjusted the
stock neck pickup to about the same distance from the strings as the
bridge pickup, wow. The volume is now close the what the bridge pickup
is and the tone got a little more twang in it (brighter). I think the
problem is the neck pickup in these Squire's are just mounted to low. I
will not be upgrading my pickups.
What colour is that?
"Stays perfectly in tune" 11:27 says otherwise.
Man! You're simply amazing. Talent!
Man you play amazing it's definitely the guitarist, not the guitar.
You know shit is getting real when he plays 035
Wow you can shred. Love the tele, thanks for posting.

What single coil pickup upgrades do you recommend for this one? :)
I don't care what people say, I think Teles sound awesome for metal.
Thanks for demoing that btw, you're like the only person on YouTube that has
Great video. Do you know whats the difference between the IL SLS and the LRL ?
I owned one of this and i love it!
squier not squire
I think that they are not more for biginners , stop calling them biginners' guitar
Can someone tell me what color affinity that is?
Hey i wanna ask, is it made in china or in indonesia? Thx
A telecaster is very well known for its clean sound, but your clean sound is very weak and muddy and with a high gain sound it doesnt matter what guitar you play, they all sound the same
aaaaaaand i would tune the guitar before I play properlybut this guitar is really good, I have one in limited imperial blue
Great video, i get mine thursday
Have you picked up an Epiphone Les Paul Studio Lt?
If so, what is your opinion between the Affinity and the Studo Lt?
