Great quality finish - Neck and body are beautiful
Lightweight, thinner body makes me want to pick it up, but still balanced
Satin neck is very smooth to play
Electronics are solid - quality mechanical 3 way switch, pots A250K are fine
Sound quality is as good or better than expected for a cheaper guitar, no complaints
I actually bought this to be a donor body for a partscaster with flame maple neck and SD pickups, but I played it for a week or so before stripping it. It's a lovely guitar for the price... unexpected bonus is I now have a neck and various other bits that are good enough to put into another project.

Beautiful to look at one trick pony
This guitar is very finished and it's lovely to look at. It's pretty lightweight for a Tele (the body is thinner than normal) and the "belly carve" makes it comfortable against your body. The tone of both pickups combined is gorgeous but the humbucker on its own is muffled and muddy. The bridge pickup on its own is thin and not very pleasant. The guitar was reasonably well set up but the intonation was off and there was some annoying fret buzz. In the end I flipped it after a year because it was too inflexible. My biggest complaint would be the pointy corners of the bridge, the top most of which digs into the heel of your palm painfully at times. I looked at replacing the bridge and upgrading the pickups but the cost didn't seem worth it.
I bought a Mexican Fender Tele with same pickup configuration and surprisingly the Chinese Squier was better quality, the Mexican Fender was returned due to sharp frets and chewed up heads on the neck screws - surprising that Chinese made Squier which literally cost less than a quarter of the price had superior quality control. The Mexican Fender was very disappointing, though obviously it had much better pickups.

Superb looks and VFM!
The look is fabulous! Great machine heads, satin neck so smooth, love the option of a Hummy up front. The only negative is the ceramic pick ups, but at this price, they gotta save money somewhere. I swapped out for Alnico V and a Gibson burstbucker at the neck, dressed the frets and set it up to my preferred action and honestly…… I prefer it to my actual USA Tele!

Cant stop playing it
Looks cool, the guitar doesnt look cheap at all and doesnt feel low price
The sound is solid, just make sure u have a good quality pedal
Ive been using it for pop rock and church music. It’s worth the purchase

Squier Affinity Tele SH FMT
Well built guitar with good sound and a superb finish. Whilst the stock features were good and had no major issues, I have chosen to upgrade the bridge pickup to an Alnico v pickup, plus replaced the strings to a thicker 12 gauge. Both of these are personal preferences rather than replacing bad parts.

Don't trust the photo
I received my guitar today which I expected to be a sort of golden brown/orange colour, I was very disappointed when I took an uninspiring brown coloured guitar out of the box.
Moral of the story, don't trust website photos, go and see the item in a shop if possible before ordering.
