MGR/Anonymous « Squier Affinity Fat Strat »
Published on 11/17/03 at 15:00Bought it as a package for my son ( mainly ) with amp, bag, leads etc from a store in Sydney. Paid AUD$699 for the lot.Its the special run red wine colour Affinity Fat Strat
Nice action along the whole neck. No fret buzz anywhere.Vol / Tone controls work well. Overall good sound in all 5 positions.Not too heavy ( good for junior ).
The single coils are a bit noisy and it doesn't stay in tune well but thats probably due to the weather in Sydney at the moment. 34 deg c one day and 19 deg c and rainy the next.
Solid construction, beautiful paint job, no blemishes. Best I tried.
Its actually a pretty good unit for a non pro / average player or learner. I tested a number of Squire Strats at a few places and found the overall quality varies a bit. Worth taking the time to hunt out a good one. Nice action, good crunch from the humbucker. Had a Gibson LP Custom many years ago and whilst the Squire is no Gibson its certainly not 10 times worse ( which is about the price diff here ).
