Everything You Need in One Box

For many first-time guitarists (or their parents), trying to find exactly what products you need to get started can be a bit overwhelming. Not so with the Squier Affinity Strat Pack. In addition to the guitar itself, this bundle includes an instructional DVD to learn the basics, a chromatic tuner to keep your guitar sounding great, and a gig bag for easy transportation, as well as a selection of guitar picks and a strap. Also included is a Fender Frontman 15G guitar amp which, as part of Fender's popular frontman series, delivers plenty of classic rock n' roll tone. The Frontman 15G operates especially well at low volumes, which is ideal for practicing, and the onboard headphone jack (and included pair of headphones) make late-night practice sessions easy.

Classic Stratocaster Design

At the heart of this Strat Pack is a Squier Affinity Stratocaster Special guitar. First introduced by Fender in 1954, the Stratocaster remains one of the most iconic electric guitars ever built. The Squier Affinity Strat combines all the classic tenets of the Stratocaster design in an extremely affordable… read more guitar. Three snappy single-coil pickups deliver the signature tone of a Strat which has helped define countless genres of music from early '60s rock to funk and blues. Also like an original Fender, this Strat features a five-way pickup selector to experiment with different tones and a whammy bar to add some warbly vibrato to your playing. New guitarists will love toying with different settings on the guitar and amp, and exploring a huge range of different styles and tones.

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I expect to own this guitar - and be totally satisfied with it - for the rest of my life. If I ever advance in my playing ability, I may seek out a higher end Fender model... or my dream PRS (My inspiration -Carlos Santana's pick). I chose this guitar over others because of it's reputation, Fender quality, and because of all the great accessories that came with it in the package. Since I am just a beginner, I think this product will fulfill my goals and hopefully advance me in my playing. If it were stolen - I would turn around and buy the same package - same color!! I love everything about this guitar - I have totally no complaints.

Sound
I was greatly impressed with the sound of this guitar. I was careful to look at numerous reviews across the internet, before making my purchase. One common rave about this instrument was that the sound rivals some of the higher end electric guitars - I AGREE! You can pay alot more money if you want to - but why? The sound is great!

Features
Again - Fender compiled this package with everything you need to get started - even a dvd with lessons. Amazing deal!

Ease of Use
The sound is really an individual thing - each player has their own distinct sound and methods of creativity. This guitar feels good, and I believe it could be very adaptive to any style.

Quality
Again, I am amazed at the quality. The included… read more dvd actually had a track that went into a Fender production plant - showing from start to finish - the making of their guitars. You would not believe what perfectionists these workers are! The finish is flawless, the fit is comfortable - there are absolutely no loose parts or blemishes. I am not worried about anything breaking on this guitar, especially after watching how they are made. I have great confidence in the quality. I have no complaints and believe I will be playing it for the rest of my life.

Value
Definitely worth what I paid - or a lot more!

Manufacturer Support
Have not needed any.

The Wow Factor
A beautiful instrument of superiour craftsmanship. Mine is black (high gloss - can't get any sexier than that - lol) with a white pickguard - I will be changing the pickguard out to make mine more distinct and personal. The Fender name behind it cinches the deal.

Musical Background:
Hobbyist ... with determination

Musical Style:
I am aiming for the Santana/Steve Vai/Orianthi styles read less
