So I have a tele with 2 humbuckers, and I want a normal tele with 2 single coils. But I have no idea which model to get. Any suggestions/recommendations???

How much money are you willing to spend? With unlimited funds you could track down an antique vintage Tele. But my guess is that you just want a decent guitar so head to your local music store and look around for something you like and try it out. When you find what you like then compare similar models with different prices and see which one suits your needs and wallet.

Besides having fun you will learn a lot from the sales team and how you feel about guitars and the music you play. Don't rush and enjoy this wonderful experience. The more you play the more you will find out what works for you and why.

I was thinking about the affinity, but I am worried that it is TOO cheap for what I am looking for. I'm still looking around on the squier web page but aren't having any luck 'cause I can't test the guitars out online.

Well, depending on how your finances are I would go for the better guitar just to be safe. Of course check the specs. Alder and Ash are quality wood bodies. Strings resonate and last longer on good quality wood. If it doesn't say anything move on. Find out about the pickups. Are they Alinco magnets? Tex Mex? Low noise? Fender? Pickups can be changed out but is the body worth it? If you got one that has good quality wood, yes. If not then just change the pickup you use and don't spend too much. It's all economics. The problem with ordering online is that you can't try it out. But if the vendor has a return policy it might be worth your while.

If you can afford it got for one of the Classic Vibe guitars either the CV 50's or the CV Custom are good bets, infact I dont think there is a bad guitar in the Classic Vibe range.

Dude, Head to a bigger guitar store if there's one you can get to. I'm looking for a Tele and have played everything from squier thinlines through 72 reissues to vintage single coils to double hum versions of mexicans. I can tell you that although they're all Teles, they all sound so different that you could give each a different name. Some of the pickups on some guitars were wonderful in the neck and I'd go to the bridge and want to put a fork in my eye.

You may have to go to several different stores to find a big variety, but for me anyways....I love doing that.
