Description

The Squier Affinity Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a brilliant first proper guitar for new players and a dependable step up for returning musicians. With the instantly recognisable Strat body and a comfortable neck that welcomes smaller and larger hands alike, it delivers the classic feel that has powered countless styles of music. Its three single coil pickups provide bright, clear tones for clean practice and lively, expressive sounds for rock, pop, indie and blues. If you want a guitar that inspires regular playing, looks the part on stage and records cleanly at home, the Affinity Stratocaster makes an easy choice.

Features

Classic Strat versatility

Three ceramic single coil pickups and a five way selector deliver a wide spread of tones, from bright and glassy cleans to punchy, driven rhythm sounds. This versatile voice supports everything from first chord shapes to expressive lead lines, so you can cover lessons, rehearsals and gigs with confidence.

Easy playing neck

A comfortable C shape maple neck with a modern 9.5 inch radius and medium jumbo frets makes chords easier to fret and bends smooth to control. The rounded fret ends and tidy fretwork help reduce hand fatigue, encouraging longer practice sessions and quicker progress.

Stable modern tremolo

A two point tremolo bridge provides a smooth action for subtle vibrato while helping tuning stability. Paired with sealed die cast tuners, it keeps your pitch steady through lessons and rehearsals, and makes restringing and fine adjustments straightforward for new players.

Lightweight, comfortable body

The slim, lightweight poplar body keeps the guitar easy to hold for younger learners and adults, with classic Strat contours that sit comfortably whether standing or seated. It is a practical choice for school ensembles and home practice, reducing strain without sacrificing sustain or tone.
