    Looks great, makes an old guitar look brand new!

  • Nice upgrade, but pricey.

    Really did give my Squire Affinity a cool look. As in another review, the low right hole did not line up. Other than that, a tight fit. Chose to leave the pick up covers & knobs aged white (previous upgrade) and have gotten several comments from band members and audience members alike. I no longer care that the headstock says "Squier". It looks cool & sounds awesome, thanks to the Fender hot noiseless pickups and new bridge. O.K., it's barely a Squier anymore.

  • Sturdy high quality pick guard

    This is an excellent quality product. I put it on an old white Squire Affinity Strat, replacing the flimsy stock white pick guard and turned it from boring to way cool looking. The bottom right screw hole did not match and I had to replace the tiny stock potentiometers with standard sized ones to fit the holes but this was all no problem and well worth the effort.

  • Looks Great, Make sure you have 8 hole and not 11.

    Looks great on my nephews black fender squire affinity. All black set up now. Installation was pretty straight forward.

    I believe it will, I would recommend placing the new pickguard over the one that's on it before you take the old one off. They have 2 different hole placements, but I'm pretty sure it will screw right on.
