Squier Review: Strat Affinity Series

History:

Purchase: I bought this guitar For $279.00, bran new. I was told that it is a good beginnger guitar. Everyone I knew who had a Strat bought a pack. Mine came with one(1) Humbucker and two(2) single coil pickups.

What I Like About This Squier Strat Affinity Series: It is a good beginner guitar hands down. The sound is tolerable. Has a nice look to it and easy fret board to work with.

What I Do NOT Like About The Squier Strat Affinity Series: Ok, The frets give out such a tingey sound when you firt get it. I know all guitars have it, but this was EXTREMELY anoying because it did not go away and it was very loud, you have to work them in. I was tempted to work them in with some sand paper. You have to relize the price tag on it though. This is a guitar for a beginnger, nothing above. Go the extra mile and buy something better if you are experienced. Thats why I traded mine in and saved up for a Les Paul ;)

Squier Strat Affinity Series Quality Rating: Like I said, look at the price tag. It has an ok look to it. reasonably durable. Mine took a beating and still lasted me. Watch out you dont screw in you whami bar the wrong way.

Review Summary: This guitar I would say is nothing bad and nothing great. It is for someone who has just decided to take up guitar, Thats all I would reccomend this for. But it is ok for the price it is sold for.

Rating of this Squier product: 2
