Description
The Squier Affinity Telecaster Thinline in Olympic White brings classic Fender style together with modern playability in a lightweight, semi‑hollow package. Designed as an effortless way into the Fender family, it pairs the unmistakable Tele outline with a chambered Thinline body that feels immediately comfortable on the strap and resonates freely for a lively, open response. Finished in crisp Olympic White with a contrasting three‑ply black pickguard and chrome hardware, it has the clean, timeless look that suits the stage, the studio and everything in between.
At its core is a poplar body crafted to the Thinline recipe, giving you that airy acoustic character and a touch more natural sustain than a comparable solidbody, while the signature f‑hole adds a touch of acoustic sweetness to every note. A comfortable maple neck with a slim C profile and a satin finish feels fast and familiar from the first chord, paired with an Indian laurel fingerboard for a smooth, slightly warmer touch under the fingers. The 25.5 inch scale length keeps the snap and definition Tele players love, and the 9.5 inch radius with 21 medium jumbo frets strikes an easy balance for both chord work and expressive bending. A synthetic bone nut helps with resonance and tuning stability, and pearloid dot inlays complete the classic look.
The electronics are simple, reliable and unmistakably Tele. A pair of ceramic single‑coil Telecaster pickups deliver bright, articulate cleans and punchy midrange bite, with a three‑way blade selector and master volume and tone controls to shape everything from glassy rhythm sounds to gritty, cutting leads. The semi‑hollow body’s natural air adds a touch of warmth and bloom, so clean passages feel lively and edge‑of‑breakup tones have a pleasing, musical resonance.
Hardware is built for everyday performance. A six‑saddle Telecaster bridge with block steel saddles and strings‑through‑body construction provides precise intonation, solid attack and dependable sustain. Sealed die‑cast tuners with split shafts make restringing quick and tidy while keeping tuning confident across sets. The gloss body finish presents the Olympic White elegantly, and the three‑ply black pickguard and knurled flat‑top knobs reinforce the purposeful Tele aesthetic.
Light in weight, responsive in the hands and unmistakable in voice, the Squier Affinity Telecaster Thinline, SKU 0378271505, is an easy‑playing, inspiring tool for practice, performance and recording, ready to cover everything from sparkling country and indie textures to bluesy crunch and classic rock rhythms.
