I'm 69 years old and I hope I learn before I die.

I took my Squier Afinity and put Fender deluxe pickups, new fender made electronics, and fender hardware. I’d take it over any other strat out there, it plays and sounds awesome!

I started playing a week ago and I had an old electric guitar from when rocksmith original came out. I was maybe 8 or 9 when I got it and after a week it gave out on me. So I went to GC today and picked one of these bad boys up and I love it. I was able to play power chords and they didn’t sound terrible 😂 I’m happy so far can’t wait to see how i progress

60 year pro player here. Loved this video. I spent a whopping $190 shipped on a brand new (listed as mint) Lake Placid Blue Affinity and I love it! Even the pickups! Something about these pickups - they don't have that extreme treble and thinness that I don't like in a Strat pickup. I don't personally care for those Knopfler/Cray type tones. The only gripes are: the neck needed a final sanding which took a few minutes with 1500 grit sandpaper. Easy-peasy. Very little if any setup needed. The only other issue is pulling up on the trem, the block immediately bangs against wood, so I'll likely do a bit of routing for a little more clearance. I'm super happy - I've spent a lot more on a ONE PEDAL! Just for reference I had a Am. Performer that was way less quality. One of the wires was only soldered on ONE STRAND of wire, amongst other issues. Even had serious QC issues with a Suhr. Go figure.

I've been playing 43 years and have owned many guitars. This squire is my 3rd strat. Mine is M.I.C . its a flame top it looks( specs wise) and sounds like the guitar in the demo and am thrilled with it.

Great video! I bought a Squier Affinity Stratocaster just so I'd have one with 3 single coil pickups to play around with and I really like it. It was great right out of the box. I also like the way the ceramic pickups sound.

I'm new to the game and I just bought this guitar yesterday!! cheers

This was such a helpful video! I have been wanting to learn to play since I was little. Now I'm an old dude getting my first guitar, and this really helped me finalize the decision! Thanks!

Bro actually gave an accurate sound test thank you bro

Great review, Thank you. I just bought one in black color and it is everything and more you said. Thank you for the video reviews and your good advice. ~~ Also, about 90% of all Fender guitar parts also fit into the Squier Affinity Strat, which is great for
alot of good upgrades and guitar mods ! - I put in a original Fender Tex-Mex pre-wired custom-pickup pickguard and it
fits in with no problem and now this guitar sounds even better. Now I have a great Stratocaster guitar and I did not
have to pay 2, 000+ dollars for a custom fender !!

This was a great video! About to pickup my first Fender Squire!

[Mat_Gomez]

I got this guitar brand new for free from trading in a yucky Fender Telecaster (the trussrod was shot and the nut was poorly cut) along with $50. This guitar was absolutely the greatest guitar I’ve ever played, the sound is amazing! And the neck is absolutely smooth! The tuning stability is awesome! Cant believe that I just learned here that they’re basically the same as a fender Strat just an extra few hundred bucks more minus a few minor differences! I love this guitar!

[e-rocworldwide]

Nah man that was a YOU scuttle buttin and AWESOME!!! 😎

[jesseserna]

I’m 59 and trying to learn, I’m go buy one tomorrow at G.C. 🤔

[bolt]

I would buy one just because this one looks so cool.

[AnnemarieStanton]

Those ones are the best ones I've played they have that glassy sound !!

[mikemiller]

I got one not long ago, they are nice guitars, I had a red affinitie that got stolen two and a half years, one of the best guitars I ever owned.

I got an Affinity the first year of manufacture, 1997. It's quite different than what Affinitys eventually became. Full sized body, probably alder. Small headstock. 12 inch fretboard radius. Dimensions more akin to an MIM. I've parted out the tuners, nut, all pickups and electronics entire vibrato and bridge system and input jack and pickguard, so I guess it's no longer an Affinty...but it's mine. Oh yeah, it was made in China.
