« Squier Affinity Stratocaster »

I perchased this guitar at Daddy's Junky Misic. I have just started taking lessons. Because of my budget and experience I couldn't get much. I got advice and bought the Squier Affinity Stratocaster for $149.95.

I like the design of this unit because it is a clasic. I am happy with the sound and durrability of this guitar. I was also pleased with its affordability.

I don't like that this unit is mmade with less quality materials than the Fender Stratocaster. It only has a 1 ply pickguard in stead of 3 ply. The pickup leave a loud hum. The tunning nobs also are not well made.

The Stratocaster has a 60's style headstock, a maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The body is made of alder or agithus. It has standard Die-cast tuners, chrome hardware, a synchronous tremolo bridge, and 3 single coil pickups. The quality of the product is good, but could not outlast constant jamming.

I would recomend this guitar to any first timers that want to start on an electric. Easy to upgrade and add on to. I think this is a great guitar but if you have the money I would recomend a tried and true Fender Stratocaster.
