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?

    This. I bought my first electric guitar for $43 from a Salvation Army on eBay back in January (ok it was like $93 with shipping.) I spent less than a hundred to get it set up at a local shop and I’m still really happily playing it daily nearly a year later with no real plans to upgrade.

    I always try to buy used for new hobbies as much as possible because who knows if they will stick (I’m super happy this one did; guitar is SO FUN and it has been a lifelong dream to learn how to play. After 20 years I finally figured out I needed a lefty guitar to be successful. Better late than never!)
