Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, Lake Placid Blue Overview
The Fender Squier Affinity Range has been refreshed for the first time since 2017 to include new and updated features, as well as new models and colours to breathe life into the popular Squier Affinity series. Key components have been upgraded such as tremolo bridges, pickups, tuning machines, and aesthetic updates such as gloss headstocks and updated logos, re-establishing the Squier Affinity range as a great option for beginners who want an affordable electric guitar or bass guitar that also looks and sounds great.
The Fender Squier Affinity Stratocaster has a thin and lightweight poplar body that provides a resonant and meaty tone as well as making it more comfortable to play, a 25.5" scale length, a neck with a comfortable ‘C’ shape profile, and a fretboard with 21 medium jumbo frets, both made from maple to provide a brighter, zesty tone, as well as providing contrast to the body colour. It also has a 2-point synchronized tremolo with block saddles which provide great tuning stability and better sustain, a synthetic bone nut and sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts that provide accurate tuning, as well as being easy to restring, which is ideal for beginners who just want to play.
For pickups, it has three single-coil pickups and a 5-way pickup switcher that provides a versatile range of tones that the Stratocaster is known for, from bright and articulate to a chime and bell-like treble, great for playing various styles of music.
To complete the Fender Squier Affinity Stratocaster are black control knobs and pickguard, chrome hardware, and a bold Lake Placid Blue finish. Get your hands on a classic guitar at a great price.
