MGR/DJ « Squier Affinity Strat »
Published on 01/10/05 at 15:00I bought this from a local guitar store for £99 second hand. I played practically every guitar in the shop and found this to be the best sounding, even up against £2000 Gibsons this, for the price, had the edge.
It is made with a thin body and neck which means it is so easy to play, especially in the high register.What I particularly like is that you can hear all of the strings when you play a chord, not just a mess of sound. ALso, it has such a nice "sharp" sound. It really sounds good!
The colour is not nice. It is "torino" red, which is fun but not the most professional look. But this is not much of a problem. The pickups are a little quiet. But I have a Fender 30 watt amp, so plugging it into input 2 makes it sound that bit better.
The construction seems sound. I like the way it is thinner than other strats as I have said. I have had no problems with it - a solid guitar!
A great guitar at unbelieveably great value! But I would definately recommend playing the one you are going to buy. I played another identical blue one in the shop and it didn't sound a patch on mine. Don't be so quick to ignore cheap guitars - might strike gold!
