« Squier Affinity Special Strat »

Ok, here's the deal. I started playing the guitar almost a year ago and almost instantly after I started I knew I was going to want to buy an electric guitar. So I looked around on the internet (I even came to this site) and just did basic reserch on a hole lot of diffrent guitars. I made a couple of trips to the Guitar Center and found the a Squire Affinity Strat in sunburst. I tryied it out and loved the feel and playiblity of it, it also had a great tone and good sustain. A few months went by and I suddenly got a flyer from the Guitar Center. It had all there newist deals on gear and stuff. So I was looking through it and......There It was! My Strat, but this one was a Squire Affinity Special Strat because it had a classic 60's big head stock and a darker sunburst finish. And I could not belive it! It was $149.99! I went by and played it and loved it! They showed me other guitars but nothing could stand up to the Strat. At least in the 100 to 200 dollar price range.

This guitar has awsome tone and sustain, a standerd whammy bar, a great feel, a slightly slimmer body, classic 60's big head stock, two tone sunburst finish that is incredable, two tone knobs and one volume and five-way pickup switching for a wide range of sounds, and it stays it tune pretty well too.

The only thing that I wish was diffrent is the pick gaurd. it is nice but it is not a three ply pick gaurd. But that is nothing that could keep me from buying one.

It has a bolt on neck with 21 frets. It strings through the back and has a standerd floting bridge. And the body is thinner then a normal strat which gives it a better feel.

I think this is ine of the best guitars you could buy, not the most expinsive but certinly superb in quality.
