Feature:
2 Tone knobs, volume, a whammy bar, a pretty color (metallic blue!) and um...6 strings! wow. What a good guitar for the price.
Quality:
This product is made pretty well. No blemishes, but I do worry that the paint will come off or something. I'm such a worry wort.
Value:
Very good for its price. Can't beat it! DON'T GET THOSE CHEAP $70 "ELECTRIC GUITARS" AT WALMART! THOSE ARE THE WORST, GET THIS ONE!!!
Desirability:
It's kind of sexy. Whatever.
Sound:
Well, this guitar is more vintage than anything. You know, no humbuckers won't get you anywhere if you like punk or something. Maybe with a good amp or a distortion pedal, though. I can achieve the sound of punk with this baby! I think. Heh heh.
Support:
Never dealt with the company.
Overall:
GREEN DAY's "American Idiot" inspired me to play the guitar. I named my Squier Strat "Joe" after Billie Joe, the lead man. I chose this guitar to begin with. This guitar may not sound exactly like his; however, it sounds almost as good with a good amp (try the Behringer GM108 V-Tone, very good at a low price). If you are a beginner, it's a GOOD THING to have a good guitar. This guitar is all you need. I say thanks to Green Day!

Feature:
A whammy bar, 2 tone knobs and a volume. What else do you need?
Quality:
Well, it's Squier, so everyone knows its not the best. But, when you hold it, it sure feels expensive.
Value:
Again, a Squier, so not THAT valued, however, a VERY nice guitar and will come a long way compared to those other strat immitators.
Desirability:
Sure, I guess it's sexy. That's why it's called "Affinity", duh!
Sound:
This has a pretty good vintage rock sound. Can also be modern if used with a distortion pedal. Nice, clean, and good.
Support:
No problem.
Overall:
If this product was stolen, I'd replace it with something else. I really like the Schecter Omen-6, but this guitar, the Squier Strat affinity, is VERY VERY VERY SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good for it's price.
