This Fender-designed Squier Stratocaster has a great look and feel. Dressed in an eye-popping finish, with a contoured alder body, bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and late '60s headstock. 3 single coil pickups and standard tremolo system. This Squier Affinity Series Strat guitar has all the vintage vibe at a fraction of the price.
Two years ago I began to play the electric guitar, starting off with a right-handed First Act 222 from Target. I got sick of it and took some money with me to Guitar Center with my buddy and bought this guitar, desperate for a left-handed guitar. I bought this one as a last resort deal, but it turns out to have been a very good decision. This guitar has noticeable quality for the price, and a branch of guitar from one of the most popular brands around, Fender. Mom's and Dad's, hear me out. If your kid is begging for an electric guitar and they have little or no background in playing, I would recommend picking one of these up, and yes, there is a difference between left handed guitars and right handed ones. Dont be surprised though if your son or daughter is wanting to upgrade to a better guitar pretty soon afterwards, these particular guitars are very basic. If your looking for a beginner guitar and a WAY low price, this is the one for you, trust me.
Like the title says, this guitar is amazing for the price paid. When I bought it, I got it set up in the store (action, intonation, truss rod, etc.) and put some new strings on it. Tuning is stable, even with bending and using the whammy bar. All of the electronics work with no problems, and you can really hear the difference when you turn the knobs and use the 5-way pickup selector. The neck, frets, and fretboard are all smooth and nice to play. I've been playing bass and guitar for about 5 years when I bought this, so I can say that it would be a good guitar for beginner to intermediate players. And as a left handed player, you just won't find a better deal. Definitely recommended.
I just picked this up today at my local guitar center and i can say i was totally blown away. The wood is smooth, the is slim but does not cramp up my hand, and i just love the 70s headstock. the two-tone sunburst is also beautiful. Unlike the picture the Squier logo is not all black but is in gold letters with black trimming. The pickups can use a little work but that does not really annoy me. If you're looking for a great left handed guitar (let's face it every time a lefty goes in guitar center there's rarely any lefties) this is the perfect guitar. Did i mention there isn't any fret buzz either?
