"Sorry, but no."

Sound: I bought a second hand mexican Fender Stratocaster at a second hand store, but it turned out one of the switches wasn't working properly and I returned it to get it fixed. It would take a few days to get done, so in the meantime I got a Squier Affinity strat so I atleast had something to play on. My god, the difference is just insane. Even on my cheap (Vox Pathfinder) practice amp, this Squier just sounds horrible. Seeing as I'm only a beginning guitarist and owned my mex Strat for two days before I got this, I can only imagine what a good guitarist would think of this guitar. The guitar feels cheap and you definately hear it in the sound as well. Playing with my Fender strat was just fun to do, but this Squier just doesn't sound well, and all my tunes sound 'wrong'. I find I don't really feel like playing guitar, and I probably won't play this one as much until I get my own guitar back. Maybe it's just disappointment in being without a guitar for a while, or maybe this guitar just really sucks. Seriously.. save up another 100$ and buy something half-decent. My second hand mex Strat only cost me 350 euros but I think you can get good stuff from about 250. Feature: The squier affinity I have here is second hand, I think. Both switches for the coils appear to be broken, so I dunno. Nothing incredible going on here. Quality: It feels cheap. I don't know if it's the weight, material or something else. The paint definately feels more plastic. On my other guitar is feels like paint over wood. This guitar feels as if it was made out of colored plastic. The neck is different from my own strat as well. I think this one is wider or something. Value: I guess you get what you pay for. I would definately suggest getting something better, because the sounds you get from this are simply less good and it will make you less motivated to play. I imagine other guitars of this price are equal in quality, so like I said.. you get what you pay for. Manufacturer Support: No idea about support, but I imagine there's some. The Wow Factor: Maybe if it were given to me. It might be a nice guitar to just mess around with.. spray the body some funky color and tweak it to sound better, or something. But other than getting it for free, I really don't want this. Overall: This guitar made me feel bad about having to wait a week for my own, good, guitar.

Style of Music: 60's rock, alternative, punk, hardrock

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Green Day has inspired me to play guitar, and this is the guitar I chose!"

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. 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!!! Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with the company. The Wow Factor: It's kind of sexy. Whatever. 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!

Style of Music: Green Day, The Offspring, System of a Down, etc.
