Squier Affinity Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar - Montego Black Metallic

Delivered yesterday, very well packaged, as if straight from Squier. The finish and appearance is great! The initial setup was excellent: neck relief, string height, intonation, no fret buzz or sharp ends, all perfect. Tremolo springs very tight, but that helps initial tuning without tremolo. Also, the bridge screws were tightened right down. They need to be loosened before attempting to use the tremolo, and the springs loosened right off to achieve a floating bridge. Pickups sound OK, but positions 2 and 4 are a bit muddy when I was expecting brighter. Tone controls a little insignificant. Overall, excellent value for money and a good beginner's guitar.

Just received this today. And since I had done my research I was nervous about buying a guitar without having handled it. My choice was an instrument to hone my skills on. Maintaining and modding as well as time exploration. Don’t expect a £900 finish but do expect a gorgeous guitar which will be incredibly easy to work on. Perfect to turn into my main blues fuzz machine.

Well made quality guitar, does not look or sound too far away from the real deal Fender.

It's not too bad,be better if it was 3 single coil pick ups, but not too bad

GUITAR NERDS/EXPERTS can tell you the difference but I cant spot the difference between a Squier Affinity strat and the real thing – except the price. This is a quality build guitar that plays beautifully and has all the standard Fender adjustment capabilities. Prompt seller and perfect on arrival. Recommended
