Rated 5/5

Such an awesome guitar for the price

Really love the color. Out of the box the action is good enough to start playing. Everything looks pretty solid, no glaring issues, although I am still a beginner but own several guitars, including much more expensive ones. Pretty happy with this purchase and sweetwater was great as always! Very fast shipping. Couldn't be happier!

Squier Affinity Strat Surf Green

I purchased this with a minor defect Which I repaired myself. (I have been a guitar Tech for 38 years and have been doing advanced repairs for a good 20+ years. the guitar is fully restored to new condition. I own over 30 guitars including some actual fenders. I gave this a $ very detailed setup and when I play this guitar, it is pure joy! It sounds surprisingly fantastic. It now plays better than my 2004 Fender MIM Strat. Now I have to do a setup on my Fender to make it fun again!
I would Gig with this Guitar. (Maybe change the pickups first)
Great beginner/Intermediate Guitar! This guitar has tons of potential!!
Music background: gigging since 1980

Love this guitar!

Two point tremolo, split shaft tuners, single string tree, gold label.
Rated 5/5

Unbelievable!

I normally play Les Pauls and don't go for the strat style guitars at all. I bought this specifically for sampling and getting those "quack tones". I normally play with 9s and the lowest action possible.

Right out of the box the setup, fit, and finish on this guitar is PERFECT. I've bought much more expensive Squiers in the past and spent ages with setup and shims, etc to get the feel right, and this is just there automatically. Even the intonation is set correctly. There are no sharp fret ends, and the unfinished (on the back) neck is glorious.

A couple wonderful things that were not entirely clear from the descriptions are:
1. The tone knobs are for neck and bridge, not neck and middle. I have a tone knob on my bridge pickup! YAY!
2. The tuners are split style tuners, my absolute favorite.

A couple of my own observations:

1. The nut is perfectly shaped and very low. Seriously, how a guitar can ship and arrive with perfect low action with no buzz and perfect intonation is beyond me entirely. I won't need shims or anything.
2. The volume and tone knobs feel sturdy, as does the switch.
3. The frets will need the usual breaking in. I normally polish the frets on my first string change, and I will oil the fingerboard for the first several string changes to darken and condition the wood a bit.
4. The strings are my usual gauge and are in good enough condition I'm just going to play on them for awhile.
5. As others have said, this guitar is absolutely gorgeous. It is also light enough for a guy like me with left shoulder issues to play with a strap. Mine is 6 lbs 15 oz.
5. The pickups sound good, even for a guy that usually prefers humbuckers. Dial in your amp right and it sounds fantastic.
6. Within 5 minutes of tuning, feeling, playing, and hearing the guitar, I took all the stickers and plastic off. It's a keeper.

I have no regrets at all. I highly recommend it!
