Squier Affinity Reviews

On 2008-03-11, TheRedneckRockstar rated this Squier Affinity a 4...(12936)
History: I've been playing here and there for about 10 years as a rythym guitarist. I mainly play 80's big-hair rock riffs and love the power chord!

Purchase: I bought it at a ProSound music store in Colorado for around $220 around 2001-02. At the time I was playing a Washburn G2-V and I wanted something to stand out against that guitar in both looks and performance. I now have four other guitars, and the Squire still gets the most shred time, even against my X-Series Washburn.
Pros: When I go into a song with a cleaner rythym section, I don't have to do a lot of adjustments. Where my other guitars are geared more for the down and gritty rock riffs, this Squire just has a really clean tone, and when I do need to adjust it, it is a quick change and I'm back to a little darker tone. Plus, the wammy just works amazing compared to some of the other guitars I've played in this price range. Very durable guitar.
Cons: Other than some string noise when I change frets (I've changed strings numerous of times. It gets better, but never goes completely away), there really isn't much about this guitar to complain about.
Quality: Nothings fallen apart yet! No cracks in the paint or tuning screw failures. Quality is good!

Review Summary: This would be a great guitar for the person graduating from the cheapy beginner guitar all the way to the jam-band guitarist. I'm glad I bought one.
