Squier Telecaster Affinity Fmt Sh Lrl Crimson Red Transparent

The Essentials to Know About the Squier Affinity Series Telecaster FMT SH Guitar

• Iconic Tele look with a flamed maple top (FMT) that is visually striking, perfect for standing out on stage.


• Immediate comfort thanks to the thin "C" profile neck and satin finish, pleasant for playing chords and solos alike.


• Sound versatility with an SH configuration: single coil at the bridge for attack, humbucker at the neck for thickness.


• Stability and sustain via the string-through-body bridge and sealed tuning machines with split shafts for precise tuning and quick string changes.

A Tele designed as an entry point into the Fender universe

The Squier Affinity Series Telecaster FMT SH carries the Telecaster DNA and adapts it to the Affinity series: an accessible, reliable guitar focused on playing enjoyment. The Tele silhouette remains intact, while the thin and lightweight body shape and FMT top bring a more modern touch without losing the model's timeless character.

For whom, and for which styles?

This Telecaster is ideal for beginners seeking a serious first electric guitar, as well as for intermediate players looking for a versatile and comfortable guitar for everyday use. It adapts very well to rock, pop, indie, blues, and funk: the bridge pickup provides rhythmic precision, while the neck humbucker offers a rounder tone for lead parts or thicker sounds.

The sound

The poplar body contributes to a balanced response, with present mids and a clear attack, ideal for remaining audible in a mix. The ceramic pickup configuration boosts output and bite: the bridge single coil delivers the typical twang and definition for punchy rhythms, while the neck humbucker adds more density and sustain, useful for solos and warmer tones. The string-through-body bridge helps solidify note sustain and the tactile response under the fingers.
