What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While Certified Open Box items from Squier do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!

Great Guitar and a Fantastic Value
This is a fantastic guitar. The neck is extremely comfortable and the quality is surprisingly good. The fretwork was especially great. The stock pickups sound good, and especially good for this price point. I've owned over fifteen Telecasters in the last 20+ years, and my main guitar is a MIM 1992 Fender Standard Telecaster. The body wood (poplar) and pickups (ceramic magnets) are the same in these Squier Affinity guitars as it was in MIM Fenders in the 90s and early 2000s. It is a testament to how great affordable guitars in general and this one in particular are today. If you're a beginner looking for your first guitar or an experienced player wanting to try a Thinline Tele without breaking the bank, this is definitely a guitar you should seriously consider.

Nose dive worth it

This guitar is ridiculously top-heavy, thanks in part to the F hole cut out. However, I have an Epiphone and a Stratocaster that are each more expensive than this guitar. The squire plays better than both of them. I've got some weird string buzz, so it definitely needs some work. But the action is like butter. And it looks different than most guitars. It's my new favorite and I named her Betty Cooper.

Betty Cooper: practical, inexpensive, Americana
I can't believe how well this guitar plays out of the box. It plays as well as a my 3 year old strat and my Les Paul (both much more expensive). Smooth action and a nice feeling neck. The pickups don't have the beef my Ephiphone has, nor the strat, but it's a great electric for the price. The one major complaint I have is with the F-hole. I love the look, but with that hollowed out, the guitar has horrible top end dive. I put it on with a strap when I got home, and I was the headstock dropped straight to the ground. I have dibs on the name Betty Cooper for this guitar.
