Squier Affinity Strat Electric Guitar (Maple) Reviews
9 out of 10
"Very good if you Mod it correctly."
Feature:
Pretty good. For a budget guitar the features are pretty good. The tremelo i was surprised at how well it stayed in tune. I use it and abuse it just as much as i would a Floyd Rose and it stays in tune. TBH the reason i praise this guitar is because i modified it to my personal specifications. The tuners are now Klusons. The pups are all custom. The Setup is all perfect.
Quality:
Very good for a budget guitar. It amazes me it has lasted 7 years. I have other guitars an Ibanez and Jackson and i still use this and in some ways prefer it. It was my first guitar and i am still in love with it.
Value:
Very good value. I really like this and even though the mods i made cost more than the guitar itself it was still a great purchase 7 years ago when i first started to play.
Desirability:
At first glance ppl look at the headstock and decide its respect value which is silly. A guitar should be judged for by its playability and sound not the name on the headstock. People assume squire are rubbish but i tell you. My guitar is better than any fender i have ever played. And im not even lying. It still looks great with a few dents here and there. Mine is orange with black pickguard and it still looks as good as the day i got it.
Sound:
With the stock pickups the sounds was not at all that great for the music i play. Hard Rock/Metal, I needed something which could give me a better sound suited to a lot of metal bands. Mine is about 7 years old now and everying is working great. I replaced the pickups with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail at the bridge and a Dimarzio Crusier at the neck. This guitar is now a beast! It sounds incredible. With the Crusier at the neck you get a really nice vintage strat esque tone that gives an original Fender American series a run for its money. And the Hot rail is perfect for metal.
Ease of Use:
The neck is incredible. It is perfect for a beginner or pro. It is so thin and fits the hand perfectly. The maple fretboard is super fast as well. And the frets are very good quality with no dents or scratches
Support:
Never needed any. But Fender are very very good.
Overall:
I really like this guitar. It is perfect for me. If you ever fancy modding a guitar start with a strat. Turn a mediocre strat into a beast that will make purists spit at their vintage Fenders!

"The product is very good for what you pay."
Feature:
The product came with the baic accesories but could of offered more
Quality:
It is fairly reliable but i have had some probolems with the tuning and tone controls.Perhaps they should be redesigned?
Value:
For its price the guitar is of very high quality
Desirability:
I really like the smooth swooping lines and the colour options (i have metallic red).It just looks cool.
Sound:
I think the sound quality is very good but i do not rate this guitar 10 because of a problem i had with the tone stick
Support:
I have not had to contact the company.
Overall:
I will probably have the product for about a year before looking for new.I would probably get a fender as the quality is a bit better.
