Hey guys. I have been playing the electric bass (rockin' with that Squier VM Jazz Bass) for about a year now in my church's praise team. But things happened, and I have to go to the electric guitar now.

I was looking at a few guitars (my price range is $200-250), mostly used, and I decided on a few guitars:

-Squier Affinity Tele (might change out pickups, if needed, later on)
-Squier Vintage Modified Tele Custom II w/ P90s
-Squier Standard Tele
-Epiphone Les Paul Standard

The kind of songs we would be would range from "You'll Come" by Hillsong Live and "I Will Go" by Starfield. At home, I might mess around with some nu metal/hard rock stuff.

At church, the guitar would be plugged into a Zoom G2.1N pedalboard and into a Line 6 Spider II. (Or directly into the soundboard and out of the speakers).


Also, a few more questions:
-If I were to get a Squier Tele and needed to change the P'ups, which would be good medium to high output singlecoils? I was thinking of Dimarzio Area Hot T or a Seymour Duncan Lil '59.

-Is there a big difference between an Affinity Tele and a Standard Tele that would be worth paying an extra $50 for?

Thank-you in advance to anyone that helps! :)

I think the $50 dollars would be worth it, the pickups and general build quality is better on the standard, but you ware also looking at the VM Custom II, if you are doing this i assume you can stretch your budget to it, if that is so, do it....... simples

I picked other due to a few reasons. The standard is a good pick nice neck, The Custom II is good too, but I heard that they can be noisy so you might look at just the custom with humbuckers for the same price. But before you buy anything, look at the VM 70's Strat for $229 I have both Teles and Strat's and love them both but for just one Axe I'd lean towards the strat. The affinity tele does not have the string thru the body bridge and the necks are not as nice usually. With a little fret work they can be nice.

Bottom line: "You really need to play them to see which one fits You!!!"
