Squier Review: Affinity Series Strat

History:

Purchase: I bought this guitar from "Rock-Steady Music" in Harrogate. It cost £140 (normal price for this guitar)on its own.I was looking for i nice beginers guitar that was easy to play.

What I Like About This Squier Affinity Series Strat: If you are looking for your first guitar to learn off this is the guitar for you! It is easy to play and has i nice rosewood neck. The frets are jumbo and the sring action is low.

What I Do NOT Like About The Squier Affinity Series Strat: The critisism i give to this guitar is terabble huming coming from the three single coil pick-ups. And with out a loking nut the strings go out of tune easily and you have to ressist temtation of the tremelo arm.

Squier Affinity Series Strat Quality Rating: When i got this guitar i looked for any problems but i couldn't find any. The Pick ups only hum in certain places with high radio signals and can sometimes actually pick them up so if you were doing a live gig you might what to be care full of everyone going silent when your amplifire starts blasting out some cheesy dance music off the radio. The finish is nice and is available in solid blacks, reds, greens, blues and quite a nice sun burst finsh.

Review Summary: All to gether a perfect beginers guitar but not something you whant to dwell on for years. Mabey keep it for a couple of years. Quality nice, Sound ok, apearance...looks like any fender stratocaster.

Rating of this Squier product: 3
