Versatile Squier Strat Sonics, Finished to Sweetwater’s Specs
Available only at Sweetwater, this Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster HSS brandishes bold blacked-out looks and high-power humbucking attitude. It all starts off with a resonant poplar body, which offers hours of playing comfort thanks to its lightweight vibe and deep body contours. Next, a slim maple neck with a laurel 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. It's all set off by an all-black hardware configuration for a darker, more elegant aesthetic. Strat fans here at Sweetwater — and there are many — have been consistently blown away by how amazing this electric sounds and feels.
Easy-playing C-shape neck
The Strat neck is legendary for its unique feel and response. Arguably Fender’s standard neck shape, 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 sychronized tremolo bridge.
Flexible 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.
