Question: Did i waste my money by buying a tele with humbuckers?
Question: Did i waste my money by buying a tele with humbuckers?
let me just say that im a beginner and this is my first electric guitar.
i liked what the tele offered so i got a squier affinity deluxe tele. the original plan was to get a non deluxe tele but i saw it was there, took a look around and thought that it just had better quality parts so i decided on the deluxe over the original. went to a guitar store and got it, heard the store worker mention something about humbuckers but didnt think much of it. im now home with my tele and just realised that i mightve just fucked up.
so the question is, i have a tele with humbuckers and a strat bridge(idk if that makes a difference), so do i still have the tele sound or have i fucked it up?
i know the question sounds stupid because, why dont i just take a listen myself, but im a beginner and my ears are pretty shit. and im planning to keep using this guitar until it becomes unsave-able(im cheap like that)
tl;dr i have a tele with humbuckers and a strat bridge, i cant hear the difference myself so do i still have the tele sound?

The affinity Tele deluxe is a great starter. No need to worry about single coil hum. I remember the neck pickup sounding really good if you raise the pole pieces slightly. I've had a lot of fun with mine, modding it and trying different wirings and switches to get a single coil tone out of cheap AliExpress humbuckers I put in. Great for learning if you don't feel too precious about it.
