My first electric was an affinity series Strat. THAT was shit. But I tried the Tele when I was down at the shop a few weeks ago, and it seems like (at least through a Fender Frontman 25R and a Marshall AVT20) it's one of the "pretty good" ones. Which is about 75% of the reason that I want to get it. The other 25% being that I've always wanted a Telecaster with humbuckers.

Don't be an idiot my friend. Save like maybe a hundred more dollars, and buy a Fender Made In Mexico Telecaster. Squier's are complete shit in my experience, and if you wanna save money. Buy an Agile telecaster, best bang for your buck anywhere. www.rondomusic.net

Unless it's an older Squier Tele then I suggest buying the Fender Mexico brand. I play a '82 Silver Series Squier Tele and it plays beautifully but I've had the misfortune of handling the newer ones and they just don't compare.

That's nothing to do with it being a Squier. That's to do with any guitar made of wood. Wood is not constant.

Um...  Not entirely what I said.  I'm ignoring the whole wood thing.  I'm just talking about the quality of the construction.
