Avoid Teles kim, they are garbage, especially the affinity series (although they play as well as US models lol). You really should be looking at some old 80's Superstrats at this juncture, maybe old Aria, Charvette, Peavey, Kramers... :lol:

I'm quite fond of v-neck jumpers myself, I just don't have any. Same with teles, I suppose.

Kim, I would spring the extra couple bucks for the Standard version over the affinity. Nicer neck for not much more cash.

I had a Squier Standard Telecaster that was brilliant. Seriously, even the hardware was LUSH... not just acceptable, but actually rather nice. It had 6 polished-steel lookin' square block saddles and everything. I guess because it was my first Squier since the mid 90's I was expected a cumbersome, cheap, cut-yourself type guitar, and was very suprised even though I knew Squiers had allegedly gotten nicer.

The neck pickup sucked but I don't like that tele neck pickup anyway (have played american teles where I'm like "what is this wooly lump of shit doing in this guitar?") so I don't know how much of it was me vs. the guitar. The bridge pickup, however, gave exactly the sound I considered "tele-like". Took it home and hooked it up to the Marshall and pedalboards and it was right at home instantly, which is rare when I get a new guitar.

The neck was slim and super comfy too. Overall I considered it a more comfortable tele than the MIM standard Fenders I tried, it just had cheaper electronics in it, thin wire, fischer-price pots with chrome-painted plastic knobs, etc... but all that can be changed on the mega-cheap these days, and I consider that kind of stuff negligible if the basic wooden guitar is nice and you're running it through nice gear. Plus I was only looking for a cheap tele to record a few tracks with at the time... I wish I'd kept it!
