I'd bite if I needed another tele. Probably a step up from my limited edition squier bullet tele, but it still plays well.

Affinity series Stratocaster in the same classic boring burst color is also on sale for the same price:

Squier Affinity and Sonic (previously Bullet) series are thinner than the standard thickness that Squier Classic Vibe series and Fender branded models have. It's not a "bad thing" per se, just something to be aware of. Some might even consider it to be a good thing due to weight savings.

I feel like these are a great deal at this price if you're in the market for a budget guitar.

Very nice deal. They're basically giving these away after the shipping.

Are these regular size? I just started playing in the last few months, and my only electric is about 3/4 the normal size and I'd like to get a full size. I don't think I'll ever get really serious about playing, should I pick this up?

This is a standard size guitar and a good choice if you just knock around on a guitar for fun. Adorama's an excellent company and I think you will be happy with the guitar.

I need this like I need another guitar...but I don't have a Tele and they're making it irresistible. I did have one before. I had to totally set it up, but it would not intonate, so I returned it. Hopefully a fluke.

Cheap enough for another wall hanger. Unfortunately, I'm running out of wall.

There is a problem with your logic, You don't have a Tele.. so that means you need another guitar.

I have both a Classic Vibe and an older Affinity Tele, and while the CV is no doubt a better guitar, it's not 2x better than the Affinity (or nearly 3x at this sale price). Honestly, I play my Affinity more than my CV, but mainly because it has an uncharacteristic belly cut (Affinity Telecasters used to be contoured for comfort, but judging by the photos here, I wonder if Squier ditched the contours in favor of the traditional cutting board body).
