Overview

A streamlined Tele with resonant tone at an inviting price.

The Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Thinline delivers the iconic tone and style of a traditional Fender at an accessible price. This lightweight, comfortable guitar features a chambered poplar body and a maple neck with a modern C-shape profile so you can play all night. Two single-coil Squier pickups provide the classic Tele twang and bite with a versatile three-way toggle switch to shape your tone. The string-through-body bridge enhances resonance for a bold, punchy sound. With high-quality, durable components like die-cast tuning machines, this Tele is ready to accompany you on stage or in the studio.

Lightweight Chambered Body Resonates While You Play

The Telecaster Thinline's chambered poplar body is highly resonant yet lighter than a solidbody, reducing fatigue during long playing sessions. The f-hole cutouts also contribute to the open, airy tone, allowing the natural wood resonance to shine through. Despite its lightweight feel, the chambered construction provides a surprisingly full and balanced tone that complements the crisp single-coil pickups. The maple top adds visual flair with an attractive grain pattern.

Iconic Fender Style in an Affordable Package

The Telecaster is one of the most recognizable guitar shapes in music history. The Affinity Series Telecaster Thinline gives you that timeless style in an instrument designed for today's player. Its contoured, chambered poplar body is lightweight and comfortable so you can play for hours. The maple neck has a fast, modern C profile with 22 medium jumbo frets for effortless solos. A three-ply pickguard and control plate provide classic Tele aesthetics. For legendary style you can afford, the Affinity Series Telecaster Thinline delivers.

Versatile Tone for Any Genre

With two single-coil Squier pickups and a three-way toggle switch, this Tele produces a range of tones ideal for rock, country, blues or jazz. The bridge pickup provides the crisp treble and twang the Telecaster is known for. The neck pickup warms up the tone for smooth leads and chords. Selecting both pickups together produces a balanced tone with full mids, articulated lows and crystalline highs. With master volume and tone controls, you can further shape your sound.

Components Built to Last

While affordably priced, the Affinity Series Telecaster Thinline is equipped with durable components designed for years of playing. The string-through-body bridge enhances sustain and resonance for a bold tone. Sealed die-cast tuning machines provide stable tuning and make changing strings a breeze. The maple neck and fingerboard are designed to withstand changes in temperature and humidity. For an instrument with professional features at a beginner-friendly price, the Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Thinline delivers quality where it counts.
