General

The ultimate beginner's model: the Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster sets you up with notoriously flexible tone, comfortable playability, and a more-than-solid study-buddy. Squier is the student-division of Fender, so you're assured that you're getting an instrument backed up by timeless, authentic style and an immediately familiar sound. And since this is a model made specifically for students, the body has been shaped from lightweight poplar for maximum manageability.

The Affinity Stratocaster: Flexible Sound

The ultra-versatile sound of the original Fender Stratocaster is fully emulated by a set of three single-coil pickups, each finished with a fresh voicing and fitted with a powerful ceramic magnet. Couple that up with the five-way position selector switch, master volume, and pair of tone controls, and you have all the tools needed to wield the wide-ranging, elastic sonic power of an icon. Whether you want to learn the subtle arts of pop, funk, blues, rock, indie, or grunge, the Affinity Strat is more than willing, and definitely able.

The Details

This Squier-made Strat boasts a compulsive level of playability thanks to the smooth and snug feel of the satin-gloss coated C-profile neck, while the modern two-point synchronised tremolo bridge, complete with whammy bar, gives this guitar its tight, low action, and grants full access to subtle or extreme vibrato effects. Six individually adjustable block-saddles have been installed on the bridge for accurate intonation, while the tuning stability is fully assured by the set of newly-improved split-shaft machine heads that finish the classically-shaped headstock.

Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster MN Black Electric Guitar

Wrote the following about Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster MN Black Electric Guitar
Een ingewikkelde kwestie deze gitaar, heb er inmiddels 4 in huis gehad, twee met het volgende probleem: De pocket van de body is te ondiep/of de socket is te dik, waardoor het fretboard te hoog komt (ongeveer 1,5 mm). Hierdoor moet de brug raar hoog worden gedraaid en ook nog eens de zadels raar hoog. Is speelbaar maar tremolo werkt niet goed meer en het is geen gezicht. Deze had dit probleem en daarom 2 sterren slechts.

Dit is mijn eerste elektrische gitaar, en hij bevalt erg goed. Speelt goed, snaren blijven goed in toon voor een gitaar die net nieuw is en alles werkt zoals het hoort. Snaren liggen alleen wat ver van het fretboard, maar dat is makkelijk te verhelpen.
