Squier Aff. Tele Deluxe MN Black

Tout d'abord la finition est vraiment très bonne, pas de frette qui accroche, peinture et vernis impeccable. Niveau son on est très polyvalent grâce aux 2 humbuckers, rien à voir avec une Telecaster "normale", celle ci est réellement différente...et c'est ce que j'aime. Bien sûr il faut garder en tête le prix de cette guitare, on est pas sur du American Pro, mais le rapport qualité/prix est imbattable. A conseiller à tous les débutants qui souhaitent un instrument d'une jouabilité exemplaire. Mais également pour tous ceux qui veulent une seconde guitare que l'on sort sans hésiter et avec laquelle on prendra beaucoup de plaisir. L'essayer c'est l'adopter...

Acheté sur un coup de cœur, j'avais prévu de la moddé pour en faire ma guitare principale. Cependant, mes connaissances novices en matière de micro m'ont fait choisir quelque chose d'inadapté à mon jeu et le manque de cut sur la partie avant de la guitare pour l'avant bras est très regrettable. Cependant le manche est extrêmement confortables, même si les frettes sont peut être un peu trop fines à mon gout. Cependant très bonne guitare pour débutant je pense même si pas les meilleurs humbuckers pour ce prix là.

There is a noticable step up in quality when compared to the Squier's Bullet range: the neck does not feel like bare wood, the frets are much smoother, and the bridge is well centered. Unfortunately, the first example had too many crooked screws for my liking, two of its control knobs were smeared with some kind of glue, and a few of its tuning machines were scratched up. Thankfully, the second example seemed to have been made with a little more care. Of course, the string ferrules on both of them were different distances apart from each other, but, sadly, that is more often the case on cheap Telecasters than not. Furthermore, the knobs on both examples turned with audible friction, but no crackling could be heard through the amplifier. The nut was cut adequately on both instruments, and none of them suffered from “fret sprout”. The only thing I would change right away would be the string retainer, for it is flat rather than curved upwards (as on Fenders), so the two high strings are resting against its relatively sharp edge, the effects of friction against which can be heard while tuning the guitar. Left as it is, it might cause tuning instability issues as well as string breakage.
The tone of the humbuckers is a little on the “brighter” side. Definitely not “muddy”. But, as I say, while it is easy to turn down the tone knob, it is impossible to add non-existent treble.
Based on my experience with the examples of this model, it should be a safe choice for beginners because both instruments were made well enough to not require any adjustments or repairs. Both could be played right out of the box. The defects were purely cosmetic.

It amazes me that a 260 Euro guitar leaves the factory with blood cutting fret ends??? Why doesn't the final inspector quickly fix this problem???
Otherwise this is a nice guitar to play and sounds sort of like a cross between humbuckers and single coils which I am very happy about. I've always liked the look of 72 Custom Tele's and if ya can't have a real one this is as close as you will get and still have some money for beer and pizza.
