The Perfect Entry into Fender's Lauded Lineage of Strats

This Sweetwater Exclusive Squier Affinity Serie Stratocaster QMT takes the tried-and-true Affinity Series formula, then seriously upgrades the visual department with an eye-catching quilted maple veneer top! As beautiful as this top may be, under the hood, this Strat boasts Fender-inspired style and performance at a budget-friendly price point, and it’s a fantastic choice for players looking to take their first steps into the world of Stratocasters. The maple neck and fingerboard feature a comfortable “C”-shape neck that players of all sizes love, while the 3 single-coil pickups authentically deliver the bell-like highs and round low-end tone that’s made the Stratocaster a household name since the 1950s. Finally, the Affinity Series Stratocaster QMT comes loaded with sturdy hardware, including a set of rock-solid split shaft tuners and a 2-point tremolo for classic Strat whammy bar tones.

Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing

Made from solid maple and capped with a laurel fingerboard, the neck on Squier's Affinity Series Stratocaster QMT is designed to deliver a powerful, robust tone. The 21 medium jumbo frets provide you with added playing comfort, so you can continue for hours without hand fatigue. A fast-playing neck is vital whether you're taking the lead or playing the rhythm, and Squier understands that. The Affinity Series Stratocaster QMT features a neck and fingerboard that ensure you'll never want to put it down.

Three single-coil pickups offer dynamic tone

To deliver the crisp, full-bodied sound that the Stratocaster is known for, this guitar is outfitted with three standard single-coil Strat pickups. Individual tone knobs for the neck and middle pickups allow you to dial in the perfect sound for your style. With a tone set to your preference, the Affinity Series Stratocaster QMT will complement your musicality with exceptional results.
