Squier Affinity Strat Special Electric Guitar

Dressed in an eye-popping 2-Color sunburst finish, this limited edition Fender-designed Stratocaster guitar has the look and feel of guitars costing 10 times as much.

With a contoured alder body, bolt-on maple neck (with a late ‘60s-style headstock), three single coils and a standard tremolo system – the Affinity Strat guitar has all the vintage vibe at a fraction of the price. These guitars won’t be available for long, so don’t miss out on the real deal! Case not included.

Comments about Squier Affinity Strat Special Electric Guitar:

I've had this guitar for approx. 4 months now. I bought it as a "knock about" instrument for practicing (I also have an American Standard Strat. and a Custom Strat. with Lace Sensor pickups). However, it's turned out to be a much better instrument than I expected, esp. for the price. It's got a good feel, seems solidly built and mostly, but not always, stays in tune. I've had absolutely NO PROBLEM with fret buzz. The pickups are a bit flat, but that's about the only criticism I can make. This is a terrific second instrument for anyone, including more advanced players.

Comments about Squier Affinity Strat Special Electric Guitar:

MY MOTHER BOUGHT THIS GUITAR FOR ME DURING SUMMER 2010.I ACTUALLY FIRST WENT TO [@] AND FOUND A GUY PLAYING ONE OF THE GUITARS. MY MOM ASKED HIM SOME QUESTIONS,AND ONE OF THEM WAS "WHERE CAN WE FIND A GOOD GUITAR THAT IS AFFORDABLE?"(OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I THINK SHE SAID). HE TOLD HER TO GO TO THE [@]AT SAN PEDRO NEAR NORTH STAR MALL. THERE I MET ANOTHER GUY WHO PLAYED ANOTHER GUY WHO ACTUALLY HELPED ME IN DECIDING(TRUST ME, HE PLAYED GUITAR FOR 16 OR 60 YEARS, SO I TRUSTED HIM). I REALLY WANTED A SQUIER BY FENDER TELECASTER, BUT WHEN HE TOLD ME IT WAS USED MOSTLY FOR COUNTRY MUSIC, I PUT IT BACK BECAUSE I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF COUNTRY. HE RECOMMENDED A STRATOCASTER FROM SQUIER. HE ALSO TOLD ME TO GO TO SAM ASH MUSIC STORES WHICH WAS NEAR [@](WE DID NOT REALIZE TILL AFTER WE GOT LOST),IN ORDER TO HAVE MANY DIFFERENT CHOICES TO CHOOSE FROM. AT SAM ASH, WE FOUND TWO CHOICES FOR THIS GUITAR:A BULLET STRAT AND THIS STRAT. I CHOSE THIS STRAT AND WAS AMAZED WHEN I BROUGHT IT HOME. IT WAS AN OK GUITAR AT FIRST,BUT IT SOUNDED EVEN GREATER WITH MY DISTORTION PEDAL AND EVEN WITH MY NEW ZOOM G1XN PEDAL. I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN IT'S NOT PLUGGED IN THOUGH, BUT WHEN IT IS, I COULD ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT BUT NOT PARTY EVERYDAY. SO BOTTOM LINE, YOU'LL FEEL LIKE ERIC CLAPTON, JIMI HENDRIX, OR ANY OTHER FAMOUS GUITARIST WHEN YOU PLAY THE SQUIER AFFINITY SERIES SPECIAL ELECTRIC GUITAR (BTW, THANKS MOM!).

Comments about Squier Affinity Strat Special Electric Guitar:

I am a beginning player and have compared this guitar to the Epiphone Special II. There is no comparison in my opinion. This guitar is much lighter, feels better to hold, and the variation you can get in sound with the 3 single coil pickups is far better than the Epi's 2 humbuckers. Also the neck is much easier to play and I'm much more accurate in finger placement with my Squier...maybe a coincidence but I don't think so. Keep in mind I have only been playing for 6 months, but I love my Squier affinity strat so far!

Comments about Squier Affinity Strat Special Electric Guitar:

I've had this thing for 6 years. I love it. It's so much better spending only [$] instead of $400 for the same sound. Its extremley durable Ive had it for 6 years without any problems and it's been thrown around quite alot. I recomend this for anyone it'll give you the same sound as a fender without the fender price.

Comments about Squier Affinity Strat Special Electric Guitar:

Well, the one at the store was from a different factory as this one is missing 2 screws on the top of the pickguard...by design....the neck is different with no insert running along the back of it.The build quality of these improved in one factory but stayed pretty bad at another.Took it back and bought and ESP EC-50 LP Copy for [$] more and wow!!What a guitar!!
