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?

    You didn’t fuck up.

    One more time: You didn’t fuck up.

    You’re learning. Your style and sound will evolve. You’ll end up with way more guitars than you think, and you’ll always have the opportunity to grow ,change, and adapt as your gear and taste expands.

    Play it, experiment with what it can do and learn to love the imperfections. They give you “your sound”.
