My first guitar
Published on 03/17/11 at 10:06After going to my first concert, I decided that I wanted to play guitar. My parents went out and bought me this package for Christmas. I’m a bit torn when it comes to reviewing this as there are two sides to this story. I guess I should start with the good stuff first.
The Squier Affinity package is geared towards beginner guitarists who want to start playing the electric guitar. It comes with a guitar, a gig bag, a cable and even an amplifier. Everything is fairly bare bones, especially the amplifier. For the guitarist just starting out, this is a pretty good, complete package. Add a tuner, start practicing for hours a day and you’re guaranteed to excel.

Everything is fairly bare bones, especially the amplifier. For the guitarist just starting out, this is a pretty good, complete package.

The main problem is that this guitar is really built poorly. When I got mine, they were being made in China. I’m not sure if they’re still MIC, but mine was a total piece of shit. The amplifier sounds like total garbage, and there’s absolutely no real tonal variety. The pickups are garbage, and the wood is some mystery “solid wood.” I think it’s agathis. I used this guitar for a few years before I decided I need to upgrade to something better. The bridge’s saddle height allen bolts stick out and cut your hand, the fret edges were awful, the neck joint had a huge gap and was just a poor guitar. Despite that, I practiced for hours and hours a day on this thing, not knowing any better.
For a beginner guitarist, I really think you can do much better, but you also have to look at the age of the player. When I got this, I was about 13 years old, and most people who buy these don’t want to spend a ton on an instrument their child might or might not use. It’s hard for me to recommend it, but it’s also hard for me to totally dismiss it.

Made in Korea or in China I know more ...
Guitar: Squier Affinity Start
21 frets, 3 single micro
vibrato standard crap but I do not use it so much it's going
3 knobs: volume gnrl and 2for the tonalites
SP10 Amp 10w RMS
1Between
2bouton setting (bass and treble)
1 headphone
and a switch clean / saturatioon
Squier Tuner: not great but not top at all! rather buy a tuner korg!
Strap: yen avai not in my pack, jsui returned to the store and given me a fender strap, but I do not know if the package or not. so no opinion on the strap
Mediator: ZERO! it can be the medium but they are not resistant at all!
Jack: He died ... I use a few months and I can not see if...…

Mediator: ZERO! it can be the medium but they are not resistant at all!
Jack: He died ... I use a few months and I can not see if it's a loose connection or some other bullshit because you can not open the jack!
GUITAR: The handle is perfect Finally I want to say that "slides" over well, I like the wood and more
For access to acute but not bad to go to 21st cargo c chian a little but at the same tps c a copy of the Start ...
The absence of the 22nd case arises ... but it's not too serious, we can make a bend to arrange all this
For cons, the guitar is too light (pejorative)! when playing on the Squier Start and a good American you see the differences (I'm just SEE!) the handle of the squier is thinner and the guitar a little lighter
The sound is good but a little pot when you put it all back ...
The micro acute shortage of power!
Amp:
of the cot, the amplifier (transistor) is plutt good I find, well, it is pure saturation trestrestres so dirty! lack of a footswitch to fill switch between during the game .. shame!
for a small amp like this (it is about 30cm high) is good! : D
Tuner:
take it! to grant, must be the string after string, the arrow is not accurate at all ...
for:
-Guitar: 7 / 10
Amp: 8 / 10
-Tuner: 2 / 10
an average of all this should run in about 6!
Personally, I play laltern, garage and poprock (radiohead, white stripes, blink (GST in GST!)) And it's going rather well makes ca
I play on a 40W torque, not necessarily designed to be a scratch amp but it makes good paar against the lil ca 10w saturates the volume 5 ...
It's been 7 months jai that this pack and my belt is already dead, my microphone also serious (ca ca because of me!)
a good beginner guitar for my taste (jen am!)
The report price is good quality at this price the good stuff c
jattends davoir MY 30w Marshall amp, and then later a lag roxanne from home!

We just bought the pack. The price is certainly low. The jack does not work when it arrives. The strings are not very good. The rest is to do with use.
