NEW REVIEW - SquieR Strat
I bought this Strat 2 weeks ago and im pretty much stisfied with it. It is of good quality and affordable.
However i recommend to everyone who buy this guitar to buy a pack of high quality strings as well, because the original ones are kind of poor. I've already broke one.
But this is the only problem i had so far. I really recommend it to everyone who want a high quality guitar but dont want to pay a lot.

NEW REVIEW - Awesome guitar!
This is one of my best guitars. It gives good sounds when connected with the amp. The colors are great and the design. It feels like i'm holding heaven.

My First Guitar
This guitar was my first one and it still is my favorite out of the entire bunch. My mom got this for me as a birthday present and I'm glad she did. For a beginner's guitar it is really good. It has a great sound and has the ability of playing a wide array of music.

Wow - great value!
I bought the Squire Affinity Strat for my 11 year old last year because I wasn't sure about how serious he was about guitar. When we received it, I brought it to my guitar tech for a set-up. He told me not to bother as it was set-up perfectly right from the box!
While I love my Semi-hollow Ibanez, this guitar has received tons of use from both my son and me. I'm flabbergasted about how much better this guitar is than the mid-70s American FENDER (not Squire)Strat I had years ago (which ultimately turned me off Fender for years). There is no way one can find a better guitar at this price. Ours has been dropped, played hard, and stood up to the treatment only a bunch of dreamer rocker kids could provide. Great action and neck (I prefer the maple neck on this guitar), hardware has held up well. Not a single reliability issue - just tons of dings, dents, and scratches.
No, it isn't a $700 Fender, but it is better than most $300 guitars and we paid $150 for ours.

Ye Olde Strat
I purchased one of these babies a couple years ago as my first guitar. I have been playing for several years now and my playing ability has been steadily increasing and alot of that is because of this guitar. The pickups give great tone, the body style is famous, and the 5 way pickup selector is an excellent feature. Plus, for a strat, the price dont get much better.

Decent
I got this guitar 9 months ago. Its still holding together nicely. But I would only recommend this to a beginner. Theres no unique sound quality and the 3 single coil pick-ups aren't good for my favorite style of music, metal. Yet, if your looking for a guitar that has a rock punk feel to it take this one. I really haven't had any problems with mine. It is worth the money.

Not too bad, really...
A LOT of people knock Squier for their cheap prices, strange manufacturing locations, and low-grade materials, but in all truth, the guitar's ain't half that bad. I've had mine for almost 3 years, and although I plug it in rarely, it still sounds okay. The paint hasn't worn, and it's remained durable even after droppings, several changes of strap locks, and a heightening of string gauges. The biggest problems, really, are that: 1) The input jack is really poor, but they don't cost much to begin with. Easy replacement. 2) Use of the trem bar for anything other than slight warbles makes the guitar go REALLY out-of tune. Besides that, it sounds pretty nice, it holds up better than you'd expect, and(without the trem bar) stays pretty much in tune. If you are a really good guitarist, you could get this thing to sound as good (or better) than instruments several times the price of this one.. the guitarist DOES make the music, you know, NOT the guitar.

Great For A Beginner Or To Customize
I purchased this guitar back in 2005-got it in Metallic Red w/maple fretboard.It sounded pretty decent for an inexpensive axe,but I realized that sooner or later I would want to change stuff. Now,if you don't want to change anything,the guitar is perfectly fine for students or any beginner-level player. Everything on the instrument is of good quality for the intended budget,and it all works well and sounds well.Even the paint looks more expensive than it is.If you purchase the Fender guitar lesson DVD,you will notice that the teacher uses one in most of the lessons-and you should hear what he can do with it! But I am the type that cannot leave well enough alone,so I installed a set of Vintage Noiseless pickups,a three-ply Fender pickguard,and some vintage Fender knobs. My local guitar dude set up the neck and everything else after that.Now I have a great-sounding 1950s Strat Replica that cost less than half what a MIM Fender 1950s Strat would cost! Some of my friends have Squier guitars-they swear by them,and most of their guitars are not modified at all. Great product for the price-get one now......By the way,my Strat is still holding up well after two years and a lot of Dick Dale-style shreddin'.

Great Guitar, For Low Budgets
OK, This is a copy of the American Stratocaster. It has all the characteristics of the classic but at a low price. I have found this guitar to be the higher end of low priced guitars. Make sure you find one on the wall that is well made as the quality varies on each Squire Strat Affinity Series. At least Fender is overseeing the devlopment. There are gems to be found. And you can always upgrade pickups, pots, tuners etc... Make sure you have it set up before you leave the store by a pro. I have made minor adjustments to mine. Pickups on this series guitar are not the greatest, the trem bar will throw you out of tune, but it's not a floyd rose either, just retune. Tone pots are of little value but I am opening up the pick guard to see if they are wired up correctly. Do not buy guitars at a pawn shops or flea markets if you just starting to play. They definitely need to be set up. The neck is great for small hands and actions can be set up reasonably low. Overall you can keep this one for years, upgrade, practice, and gig with it. Not sure how it will hold up with a seriously athletic guitarist on stage. You will need to buy a decent amp. The Fender Bullet works great with this guitar for practice. You will need a digital tuner for this guitar. It will drift some. Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings are cheap and work great. Change about every 3 weeks for moderate playing. Hey, you get what you pay for, but I have to say this guitar has held it's own with epiphone lp-100's. Definitely a beginner or itermediate players guitar. One note, no matter what priced guitar you buy, your playing is a reflection of yourself, not the guitar. After 25 years of playing, " If it sounds good it is good " no matter if it's marked made in China or USA.
