MGR/TheRedneckRockstar « Squier Affinity »
Published on 03/10/08 at 16:00I've been playing here and there for about 10 years as a rythym guitarist. I mainly play 80's big-hair rock riffs and love the power chord!
I bought it at a ProSound music store in Colorado for around $220 around 2001-02. At the time I was playing a Washburn G2-V and I wanted something to stand out against that guitar in both looks and performance. I now have four other guitars, and the Squire still gets the most shred time, even against my X-Series Washburn.
When I go into a song with a cleaner rythym section, I don't have to do a lot of adjustments. Where my other guitars are geared more for the down and gritty rock riffs, this Squire just has a really clean tone, and when I do need to adjust it, it is a quick change and I'm back to a little darker tone. Plus, the wammy just works amazing compared to some of the other guitars I've played in this price range. Very durable guitar.
Other than some string noise when I change frets (I've changed strings numerous of times. It gets better, but never goes completely away), there really isn't much about this guitar to complain about.
Nothings fallen apart yet! No cracks in the paint or tuning screw failures. Quality is good!
This would be a great guitar for the person graduating from the cheapy beginner guitar all the way to the jam-band guitarist. I'm glad I bought one.
