Classic Strat Tone and Playability from Squier

Get classic Strat design, playability, and tone with the Affinity Stratocaster HSS from Squier. The Affinity Strat features a lightweight, resonant poplar body topped with an eye-popping flame maple veneer for incredible resonance and comfortable play. A beautiful maple neck with maple fingerboard offers impeccable response and feel as well, making it ideal for any style or genre. And a versatile trio of pickups, two single-coils and one humbucker, offers you the best of both worlds and unlimited classic tone. Strat fans here at Sweetwater — and there are many — have been consistently blown away by how amazing this electric sounds and feels.

That Strat neck!

The Strat neck is legendary for its unique feel and response. The “C” profile bolt-on maple neck on the Affinity delivers vintage feel and playability. The Indian laurel fingerboard features 21 medium jumbo frets for comfortable, nearly effortless chording and smooth lead runs — ideal for long nights of jamming and performing. Plus, your leads will soar given the expressive opportunities offered by the synchronous tremolo bridge.

Versatile trio of pickups

The Affinity Strat has been wired for tone with a mind-blowing array of sound shaping at your fingertips. The two single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions arm you with all the classic, punchy tone you'd expect from single-coils. A solo humbucker in the bridge position brings the crunch and growl when you want to get a bit heavier. And with a 5-position blade switch, a master volume, and two tone controls, you have a wide variety of sounds to dial in along with near-infinite stylistic colorings to explore.

Blackie my new Tiger Stripe Strat

It's gorgeous, it tuned, soft to touch, got an Aztec black and grey strap, picks and strings, stand. All in what seemed a day plus two. It is Squire by Fender. HSS is no beginner only guitar. I have a New songlist to print and let me and Blackie play. peace

Great Buy

I purchased this guitar for an easier playing guitar and teach my daughter to play. The guitar was almost ready to play right out of the box. The action was almost perfect and all that was needed was a tune, quick setup, and inotation corrected. Love the guitar. I would highly recommend if looking for a mid grade beginner/intermediate low budget guitar.

Beautiful guitar!

This is my first electric guitar. The photos sent to me were lovely, but nothing compares to what it really looks like in person! No issues from what I saw and it was in tune when it arrived to me. Sounds wonderful with the Blackstar amp I also purchased. Thank you Sweetwater Team, and thanks to my Sales Engineer Edward for being super nice and reaching out the same day I made my order for a quick chat. Looking forward to any and all future purchases here!
