The Affinity series is considered as Squier’s flagship guitar range. Budget-friendly and aimed at beginners, the venerable Squier Affinity series remains a best-selling instrument line for retailers all over the world. And you’ll find that many musicians started their musical journey with a Squier Affinity Stratocaster!
Solid Construction
Squier's Affinity Strat features a lightweight Poplar body that serves as a balanced tonal foundation for its trio of spanky single-coil pickups. The body is joined to a comfortable "C"-shaped Maple neck, which brings out plenty of upper mid-range bite and top-end vibrancy - giving notes a snappy and immediate response.
Satin-Finished Neck
While affordable guitars are getting better, you'll still find that many will feature sticky gloss-finished necks. The Squier Affinity Stratocaster is an exception, with a smooth satin-finished neck that provides a fast and slippery feel that won't hinder your playing at all!
Versatile Electronics
The iconic Fender Stratocaster has always been distinctive for its triple threat of single-coil pickups. The Affinity Strat adheres to that classic formula, sporting a trio of Squier's Standard single-coils that have plenty of projection and dynamic range.
Use the 5-way pickup switch to isolate each pickup and access different combinations for a wide tonal palette. Further control is also provided via the master volume knob and tone controls!
