MGR/Anonymous « Squier Strat Pack Affinity Strat »
Published on 07/21/04 at 15:00i bought this thing at a local music shop for a little over 200 U.S. dollars. (california)
when i bought this...i was a beginner who had no guitar playing experience at aLL. it looked good, construction was decent. according to some other poeple i've gotten lucky with mine, other certain people's strat packs had bunch of problems. but after i've played for a few months, now i realize squiers are crap. i suggest you go over to the "dislike" part of this review.
FINALLY...the guitar sucks, the amp sucks (15watt fender frontman 15G). the pickups are horrible quality, i'm a huge hendrix fan..and with a squier, there is no way anyone can acheive the tone of hendrix's music (actually the guitar basically has no tone it sucks)...most of all..the fret job is so crap you have you stick your fingertip in to the fretboard when playing a note to avoid an annoying BUZZ..its like the guitar is holding me back from getting better (i just get super frustrated sometimes and feel like i want to poo all over the guitar). and like i said, i've gotten lucky with my strat pack my guitar had no technical problems
you get what you paid for..and taht is exactly my point. the construction isnt half bad but its probably built in some sweatshop in Indonesia, what the hell can you possibly expect. im no racist but im just saying that at certain times you can be really disappointed with this guitar unless youre a beginner like i was.
as long as you are just starting out..this isnt half bad actually. but i warn you..this guitar is only temporary till you get better. in fact im buying a real fender strat pretty soon. but if you do buy a squier and youre satisfied, hey whatever you know? good for you. i know i was for the first couple months of playing
