MGR/Lucas Rainey « Squier Affinity Strat »
Published on 09/01/03 at 15:00I got this at Matt Umanov (NYC) in the Squier Strat Pack. I paid $250 for the whole thing, with the guitar as about $125 of that. 'Tis my first guitar
Factory setup was very good. The guitar is very playable. String changes are easy, the thing sounds great, and it's fairly light. It also takes a lot of banging about (I've dropped it twice...)
The tuners on the Strat are not very good, especially the G and low E. The whammy bar throws things out of tune fast, and at one point the output jack screws popped out. I replaced them, and it's all right now.
The wood on the neck and headstock feels a bit cheap, and corners were cut on the output screws and the tuners. However, it's solidly built on the whole, with knobs that stay on.
Very good guitar. Not a Fender or even a Squier Standard, obviously, but it's great for beginners and not too shabby for anyone else.
