Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster HSS Pack - Charcoal Frost Metallic with Laurel Fingerboard Reviews
The Squier HSS Stratocaster Pack with Frontman 15G Amp is the perfect entryway into playing the electric guitar. This great-sounding, smooth-playing Strat features a lightweight poplar body and a "C"-shaped maple neck with laurel fingerboard. Tonally, players are armed with neck and bridge single-coil pickups for that classic Strat tone, along with a high-gain humbucker for thick overdrive and low noise. When it's time to crank it up, plug into the 15-watt Fender Frontman 15G amplifier and dial in its awesome custom-voiced overdrive. The HSS Strat Pack also includes a cable, a strap, picks, a gig bag, and a 3-month Fender Play subscription — a superb educational resource packed with lessons on beginning and advanced playing techniques.

Worth it!
It's a great starter guitar in my opinion.
Punches above it's weight...
This is my new favorite guitar...the pickups sound great as they are...the neck is to my liking...and the finish is great...it feels light in your hand but still feels much more expensive than it is...it stays in tune really well...although I may upgrade to locking tuners...I also popped off the volume knob because it gets in my way on any strat guitar...anyway...overall...I love this guitar...seriously...try one out...you won't be disappointed...
Great set all around
I bought this set for my son as his first electric guitar. It was easy to get started, and he loves the look of it. I was also extremely pleased with Sweetwater's customer service.
Black Stratocaster Guitar SET (Edited to Match the Correct Price)
Amazing Guitar Set especially for someone like me, who barely knew what to buy, I'm very new to Guitar and was tryna see what to buy as it is my first time, and this came up while I was searching, it has a fair price of 380+ USD for the quality of the Goods contained within the Set, amazing. 5/5

Best guitar ever
This is the best guitar I have ever owned! It sounds amazing and is easy to play! It is very easy to tune. It almost never goes out of tune. I 10/10 recommend this guitar! It is worth the money! You won't regret it.
Second Electric, but first was a BC Rich Warlock in 1994
I decided to learn guitar for the 3rd time, and after looking at the various bundles, I liked the look of this guitar. I'm not sure what makes it more expensive than the other strat packs, but in person, this thing looks awesome. I have made a few minor upgrades, I replaced the nut with a Graph Tech one and replaced the tuners with locking ones. It sounds and plays great, and my guitar teacher was honestly surprised it was a Squire Strat when I pulled it out of the bag. I can't confirm this as I've never played a true Fender Strat, but he said that it played like any Fender Strat he's ever had, so take that how you want.
Overall I'm very happy with the guitar, and for the money, I think it's not only a great guitar to start with, but a good guitar to upgrade. I'm planning on upgrading the pickups, possibly the pots as well.
This guitar is a looker, sounds and plays great, and is great value for the money.
Amazing guitar for beginner to pro
Amazing guitar feels very comfortable only one thing at the beginning the new strings the trem throws them at our of tune more than usual new strings and ended up buying local and actually received a classic vibe instead (+1 level kinda)
Strat package update...
So I wasn't really gonna use the trem but I wanted to see how bad it kept tune cuz I heard nothing good about it. Sure nuff, couple bends and tunings gone. I expected that, its still a pretty good guitar.
First electric
I've been playing acoustic for a few years thought I get into electric. Even when reviewing guitars to find out what I wanted on my budget and stumbling upon this I thought I'd have to upgrade fairly quickly, However after receiving the package And seeing how beautiful the guitar is, it's definitely a keeper and it plays so nice and sounds great thru the amp. I'm just playing at home so the amp does just fine. I don't need to blow the windows out. It's just a really good package. Near perfect quality(gritty frets). Holds tune nicely
