I have an older Squier affinity telecaster and wanted a Strat type guitar, I saw this and thought for the price it should be good for my needs. I took this guitar out of the box and it seemed like it was set up by a pro! I looked it over to see if anything was outta wack anywhere but it was all perfect. I Never had a brand new guitar with a neck this straight! And such low action with perfect intonation. I have a recently bought another guitar and went into a guitar shop to have some work done on it while I was very played some fender 'Player' Stratocasters and when I tell you they felt exactly the same as my guitar I am being totally honest. I picked up another brand new affinity off the rack while in the guitar shop and it was as perfect as mine. The frets don't need to be polished the fret ends come perfect out of the box. All I can say is there is something about the affinity series guitars that get more attention to detail than the classic vibes do. As far as pickups and sound goes it really can't say anything good or bad as I don't really get out to play much but it sounds like a strat with humbuckers to me. I just don't think I will be spending any more money on top line fender guitars anymore if they keep making these this good. And thank you to zZounds for being a great company and offering us this financing.
