All user reviews for the Squier Affinity Stratocaster [1997-2020]

Construction lgre a little but that's normal considering the price. Please note this is not a toy, you can play it long without points.

UTILIZATION

As a true Start ...

SOUNDS

A bit worse than USD. In short if you have no sound with it, we must go after your games! Go hump lazy

OVERALL OPINION

DJ I had a lot of guitars, Gibson through a strat US, and I bought this stratum for home studio. However, I am fairly boring and frankly the issue if you play not with a real amp scne lamp is not really see the difference. The pickups are a lightweight buzz on positions 1,3 and 5 (as true) but the grain is the Fender (position two down). It is a little "toy" that her older sister but the tuning is long enough if you do not t'acharne your bending like a tar. In short, for the home studio, it is nickel scne for its construction seems a little too lgre ...

22 frets I think about my three round knobs (one volume, two tones), Asian manufacturing, three microphones and five position selector for the microphone.

UTILIZATION

The handle is not too dirty it going, Access in acute is not inhuman and ergonomics is good trs. With the right rglages easily obtained trs sound right

SOUNDS

I play on a Marshall Valvestate amp with a Boss DS-1 distortion still requires the good rglage if you fall quickly over boiled sound but when the settings are correct so we can easily s'clater whether the pickup or neck pickup, sometimes we are surprised to hear the sound of a real Fender Start but really sometimes.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it myself for six matches for me it was my style of play, there's no real point ngatif prcis I'll just say that compared to a fender is obviously worse.

Made in China
21 frets (which wear trs SPEED)
vintage vibrato
3 micros simple
2 tone, 1 volume, a 5-way switch (the tonality is not efficient trs between 1 and 9)
Alder body (the sunburst finish), maple neck, rosewood key
The painting is beautiful (2-tone sunburst) but trs fragile (in 1 year of heavy use, there are four large pieces, a field of many small scratches and exploded due to the rivets on the jeans back, and a field shot mediator on the upper body.
The tuning is fairly well if you do not martirise vibrato (which I did)
the pickguard seems to be a cheap, it is cracked and twisted
Briefly, my guitar took 30 years 1year

6 because -2 and -1 for painting not because the quality fender c (tones, pickguard) and-1 for freight

UTILIZATION

This is one of the main cheaply and this scratch: its poid.Elle tr2s is slight and fine trs, trs what makes it enjoyable to play as sitting upright
trs the handle is enjoyable, since I have a fender 'I find the one cargo is small, the hammers does not rev well but it is perfect for beginners.

8 because the handle is not fender but the ergonomics of the instrument is our perfect beginners

SOUNDS

The sound of this guitar, the prices are good and close trs sound TARS, but I find the bridge pickup is a criard.mais all positions remain usable with a small preference for position 2 (bridge + middle ). Please note that the guitar is enormment feedback is good to play trs Parisian walkway Garry Morre (note the super long end of the trs vertion is hard to live with the TV but It goes with the squier alone if mastering one can) or Santana's Europa chiant.je but sometimes also found that if you register (or group) the sound is a little too fragile, lack of ampler and not apparent enough in the group, but that's not what we asked what kind of guitar playing in his room this dfault remanque does not.

7 does not sound as good but its not rev more than sufficient to play in his room

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is exellent are in Rolle, guitar for beginners (that's why she conceived t) and is in addition to dot a very good price quality ratio (215). I advise all beginners, but pass this stage, when we start playing shows, he wants to register components mieu change, I have tv's now have a fender but I do not regret this purchase, it m 'dcouvrire allowed the electric guitar without ruining me.
9 because it is perfectly fulfills role

Made in China.
handle 21 frets, 2 single pickups and a humbucker.
floyd style vibrato I believe ...
3 knobs: one volume and two tone, a 5 slecteur position.

UTILIZATION

A handle plutt enjoyable, ideal for beginners,
Access in last fret is not obvious at first until the 19 but there is no problem. Personally I like the form, type stratocaser is the class ... that the hollow body is not actually a fairly heavy guitar, but once accustomed (as when adbut with) we are almost surprised to do somersaults with a hollow body guitar.
despite all the settings, I distinguish two sounds correct not to mention the distortion: plutt a jazz classic and clean, the other positions micro plutt representatives of the "intermediate" to my taste. when the tone has to position 0 and 10, there is almost no differences, and must have experience and the experience to properly rgler, which is not empty for a beginners.

SOUNDS

It's a versatile guitar trs, let go from jazz to metal, with limits of course, it's not upscale either.
I use a peavey rage Amli 15w and a multi purpose zoom. combination with the amp is good but I have not a great experience in terms of sound. comment to the effect is the same, the harder both rglages.
in clean, depending on the position of the microphones, the "clean classic" does not play very hard, but is ideal for clean sounds including arpeggios and chords jous gently, when the "clean jazz" it allows to play a little "rough" (but not necessarily nag) with its very warm. Distortion is against little or no changes when the selector hack or tone, but you can leave trs sounds good.

OVERALL OPINION

A good guitar for beginners to intermediate levels, you learn quickly and the only obstacle to progress may be blood in the fingers tend to widen more ... they have nothing to do with the high-end quality but its price is compared trs satisfactory, and a budget of 250 euros is a good investment to learn safely.

Made in China, 22 frets, 3 single pickups, four knobs, one volume and three tones, 5-way switch, in fact, I find the selector trs misplaced, it moves, e when shot mediator a little too abrupt and too large movement

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite enjoyable to touchc'est one of the only positive, polish cloth. CHAC is simple to acute (that is a stratum). Because of its shape, ergonomics, is enjoyable, it's pretty nice, mine is sunburst
However, electronics is truly pathetic! gressillements means that it is a real nest parasite!

SOUNDS

Its sounds terrible pa must admit, but it's a good guitar 240 euros! should not expect a prs! I play a little Avence marshall mg 15 dfx, the sound is "caca" is no other word ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and I really regret my choice, I would have to take a pacifica for the same price

Squier stratocaster standart (MODEL 330)

MODEL made in China (like all the guitars! Lol)
22 frets, 3 single coil microphone

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable, it feels a real fender!
Unlike the Les Paul, I can play longer without a chopper hand cramp! lol
The guitar playing is trs enjoyable as a whole, you can really let go of it.
A model 300 and it comes out a sound irrprochable!

SOUNDS

It's a blues guitar instead, but you can easily play the punk mtal or above. The pickups are very sensitive and really shout (like a)
Ct rglage DSIR has left a bit! The Tone is of almost anything, but the pickup selector is nickel and diverse allows config.
Personal love playing only on the neck pickup with a modlisation crunch. The sound is terrible.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been over 2 years that I have, and I do not spare. Even if now I regret not having taken a telecaster instead.
The only thing that bothers me about this scratch (outside the range of colors) is the position of the pickup selector. It is soot quickly when playing as a nag! blah!
Report qualitprix: I found a scratch dfie 300 (new) than the mieu!
This is a great beginners guitar, you can keep for scne. When you have no budget to pay for a super skyscraper hsiter not take a second.
That would do it again, with 200 more I would take a telecaster mexico. But with only 330 is a bargain!

It's a great copy! it is used as a real strato! 3 tone tone volume knobs handle end very very comfortable excellent guitar for its price class. Made in Taiwan

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thin which facilitates access to acute without big hands and it is also thanks to the shape and is light enough (6kg)

SOUNDS

With two tones knobs can easily find the sound that suits us. I play grunge and metal fab metal distortion with a Danelectro and I recognize that with good stuff we play what we want with this guitar very versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a good scratch for the price very versatile in sound, but is not in the extremes (exactly what you want).

Finish level is more than adequate for a skyscraper that price, the instrument has a relatively good quality overall.
3 knobs (2 tone, 1 volume): the tones do not change practically nothing, forget.
A micro slecteur (5 position).
The vibrato is also left in the bag, it is just beautiful to you may hurt more than a guitar as a sound model.
There are 22 boxes.
(Ie -1 for knobs and vibrato, because ke -1 21 frets and not 23)

UTILIZATION

The handle is trs enjoyable: there is an end despite the bomb giving back a little more support for the agreements and to acute ACCS is honest.
The Squier is also lgre and you can play standing up as sitting without problem.
Touching at the slecteur micro (not the 2 tones knobs) can be obtained relatively quickly, however, the type of configuration sonoritsdsir 3 microphones simply remove some of PCHE.

SOUNDS

The micro config (3s) to get a pretty frank clear sound for a guitar of this range, for against the lack of double pnalise a bit for a powerful distortion. Guitar sounds more oriented towards the mdiums.
So for the mtal jou is not excellent, its own provides good lil crunch if you set your amp overdrive but the powerful will not be the appointment.

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for almost 2 years, this was my Premire scratch (I switched to the Jackson DK2 Dinky), and for beginners it is a good investment.
Especially since to learn the guitar I think it is best to start by the clear sound (ca learn to play clean).
The report is qualitprix honnte, it is robust to a ptite guitar and will follow you during your first learning. APRS course, it is better to pass a range suprieur to take full advantage of our talents (LoL). In short it is a good guitar for beginners.

I believe manufactured Chine.21 frets, 3 single pickups ... Show previous opinions

UTILIZATION

The handle is EXTRA, very quick end to super sharp sympa.Accès nothing easier Gene nothing everything is perfect!
Start normal form (super nice), my weight light enough times.
The sound is truly worthy of a strat (can not anyway ...) But it is very good I use it with a Fender Frontman 15G amp is what comes out is very good in my humble avis.Mais it few graying ropes but its still good

SOUNDS

Ba yeah it suits my style you can do everything on it (almost)
I play with a Fender Frontman 15G Amp
Well it may seem a bit strange it certainly is a scraper with 3 single pickups and I play all or substantially all of its saturated fat and that I working stream is more than adequate! And the clean channel is very good as the sound the scratch is very good with

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one week (^ ^)
I love everything about her is my first one is forced to scratch the beloved of the cherished loved ... The least that the sound of Frizot tps to another clean channel first 3 strings but its Password largement.J 've tried JET LAG 100 which is in the same register, but I bought it in the pack frontman!
VERY GOOD its excellent value for money I just seem to be of great quality all its

SOUNDS

Yes, after changing a fender standard pikguard
a marshall mg100hdfx / a sound supreme 1963 120 full lights.
with the original piguard no life in the sounds flat.
with the original pikguard I hate them all.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought a month ago to put a fender standard micro pikguard 016,730 in 2004 ..
Before changing the picguard, I listened to the sound of the original microphone with my 100w marshall amp settings without moving it.
The dead in his flat immediately understood that it was worth the money. (Fender?, I doubt it). But nothing to do I think, I remove the original picguard.
I put the two next to each other the difference in quality of an eye and the other is not like I have a picture of two pikguard, even a novice is able to see squyer which is the visual quality of the assembly.
I put the fender mexico pikguard a standart, a miracle he was alive and beautiful, nothing to do with that I had to remove.
I was told that the violin was to be the same as the fender mexico (made in series), I chose blue metal maple neck has great looking, easy to play the stick not too heavy.
I needed no more to be happy with the result ..
Unfortunately two weeks after some began to fret buzzer. Unstoppable.
I drove to the luthier who told me after a review of ten minutes, the handle is not correct, the frets not very equal, he says he has nothing to do with the left as the quality is too poor to try to change something. Change at the string of a series less low.
She is still in the luthier.
A tip if you have small fender means investing in the cheapest, which is not comparable in quality and finish with squyer.
What about copies without name? to disgust you to learn to play.?
Pikguard the origin of the nine squyer not use full, I do not even want to sell it to make someone unhappy sound is so bad.
This is not an attack against the mark but the truth finding.
Now I stop associating with squyer fender, nothing to see.
That we stop these comparisons. One is a squyer squyer.
Nothing to do in one way or another with a fender.
Both the quality of the violin as electronics. This is not comparable.
Stop to think that candles are lanterns, to use the expression.

is to save a little more. than making a bad choice that will drive you to stop playing or soon to change twice a fee.
this choice ever again.

Guitar gnrique / standard, not CHRE, lgre. 3 micros simple, two tone.
APRS many years of intensive use (carry around left and right), the stronger spices, son of solves. (No worries)

UTILIZATION

No complaints about the ergonomics and the handle is playable without problem. If we really played like a pro or are looking for rich sounds better to opt for a handle and microphones prcis more and better finishing.

SOUNDS

Good range of sounds in the acute as severe thanks to the micro positions 5, good for beginners before finding his style (and it may be appropriate to buy a +). In the distance rglant microphones with the cords (2 screws tighten / dsserrer) can still tender opportunities. All dpend as well Obviously the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in 2001. 1st reading my guitar: I was wondering if I made a bargain with a low-end guitar that may need to be changed slightly APRS (but has less apprhension beginners with a 1000 that dare not go out of its cover: -)) APRS 6 years I still play with.
For beginners, rpter, carry, just take the fun is OK if you play your pltot technique, picky, if you think it's the quality of an instrument that done almost everything go your way. Considering the price and the fact that we can change the pickups as needed, ideal for beginners see 2nd guitar.

Everything has been said before.
The handle is screwed and do not breathe the mechanical safety.

UTILIZATION

The handle slides well and is comfortable. Access to treble is good as any Start. The ergonomics are perfect. It must be said that the stratum is one of the most successful guitar with the quality of play, not much to say.

SOUNDS

3 single coil pickups Squier, it's not really made to play metal, but I love the pure sound it produces. So the distortion greasy, forget. For cons, the blues sounds he stuck to skin.
After everything is relative: it depends what you want to make of this guitar. Personally, I play at home on a 15w, so it suits me. But for those who grow a little more, for sure it shows its limits.

OVERALL OPINION

This guitar is the business of my short life as a guitarist. I bought it two months ago on a flea market: a guy who would not know it too sold it to me € 50 dust well with the strings and keys oxidized ultra dirty wish!
It took me half a day to restore it but what a pleasure.
Then the price / quality ratio, I think I have achieved.
Now buy it new, I do not think: it can be much better for the same price.
Mechanics too loose, the handle screw and microphones a little weak people are the big weaknesses.
The comfort of the handle is big strong point.

This is a guitar for beginners (for beginners pigeon finally ... it's not their fault APRS all.)

UTILIZATION

That is all that is a stratum, visually. There's not a quibble it's not his dfault.

SOUNDS

Is shit! Micro tremolo is feeble and his guitar for AConnect immediately APRS ^ ^

I see people, post "so it's not good for mtal"

IT'S A START BAH 3xSingle coil SAME TIME! and more entry-level label.
Sub Fender Ok but no.

OVERALL OPINION

Wooden crate vritable. Fisher Price Electronic Signature 100%!
The Chinese child slave luthier build this guitar are pretty ffective, I must admit.

Okay so at this price, it is odious: Fender Squier uses Notore to sell a guitar agnralement M **** poor parent fully Exceeds the world inpitoyable the world of walk the guitar lctrique.

Thomann.de look on the Harley Benton. These are the best learning grate I can consseillez, cheaper with a wide choice of copy ... uh shape, color. Meileur and its also a change of pickups and you have a guitar more than honest.

Start the Asian
21 frets
3 single coil
vibrato bridge base
3 pots: 1 volume, 2 tones, 5 micro slecteur position
run fast and fine, very agreable.strato!

UTILIZATION

Channel strato nice ... what!
Access to the last fret is pretty simple, even if you love to have 22 boxes ...
In terms of ergonomics, it's a very good point, the guitar is perfectly balanced, it has a weight correct, although for me it is too light, I prefer a guitar that I feel on my épaule.maintenant, Perhaps in concert, I feel after 2 hours, but as I have not yet experienced it to see ...
the sound is easy to obtain, must not have invented the 2-liter bottle to find his sound!

SOUNDS

Stratocaster leads directly to the versatility of heavy blues, ska and rock ... everything can be interpreted with a stratum, with nevertheless the extreme to be avoided.
I use a 75w amp Fender Champion 110 and deposit it A LOT! Normal, since this amp creates the sound fender.Je also used occasionally on a Laney 30 watts and the sound is correct. (d 'Besides, I sold the leany !!!). I also use a multi-effects pedal digitech rp300A.
At the clean sound, unlike its relative the microphone used is highly differentiated, it is nice, with a good range of sound, from grave to acute.
For cons, the sound distortion, it becomes very quickly a real mush, so do not play with the overgrown drive.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using one and a half years, and I think I made the rounds as possible, but being my first guitar, I do not bring myself to vendre.je'll change it all that is lacking.
The pros: the stratocastor gules, balance, handle, ease of play ..
The -: Everything equipment leaves something to be desired vibrato and mechanical bad bill and that rapidly Disagree, micro poor its quality.
I will soon give it a beautée changing the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails, by changing MECAS wraps (shallers?), And change the vibrato by a Wilkinson.je will edit to tell you if the guitar is worth the once after all these changes.

June 24, 2007 EDIT: I changed anything, I'll sell it because I have a jackson kelly3, and once we rolled audi, no longer drive a lada seeing ...
