Description
Introducing the limited edition Squier FSR Affinity Stratocaster HSS, a standout model in the Olympic White finish complete with an attention-grabbing metallic pickguard. This model is a part of the well-loved Squier Affinity series by Fender, which for the first time since 2017, has seen significant refreshments in terms of both functional features and visual aesthetics.
The Squier FSR Affinity Stratocaster HSS is more than just a beginner’s guitar; it’s a robust, reliable instrument that promises to deliver an enjoyable playing experience no matter the player’s skill level. Whether you’re a newbie looking for a quality guitar to start your journey, or a seasoned professional seeking a secondary instrument for practice or performance, this model is perfectly equipped to suit your needs.
One of the striking features of this model is the lightweight poplar body. Not only does the poplar body provide the guitar with a balanced tonality, but it also aids in achieving the characteristic resonant and full-bodied tones that Fender’s guitars are renowned for. This is complemented by a 25.5″ scale length and a ‘C’ shaped neck, made from durable maple wood. The neck profile is designed for comfort, allowing for hours of fatigue-free playing, and the scale length gives you a bright, zesty tonality that beautifully contrasts with the guitar’s body color.
The fretboard features 21 medium jumbo frets, also constructed from maple. These frets are designed to provide excellent note-bending capabilities, making the guitar highly versatile for various musical styles. And to ensure your tuning remains stable even during the most vigorous playing sessions, the guitar incorporates a 2-point synchronized tremolo with block saddles, a synthetic bone nut, and sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts. These components not only facilitate accurate tuning, but also make restringing a breeze.
A highlight of the Squier FSR Affinity Stratocaster HSS is the three standard single-coil Strat pickups. They are paired with a versatile 5-way pickup switcher, allowing you to capture a broad range of tones that the Stratocaster is famous for. This means you can easily switch from bright and articulate tones suitable for lead parts, to a more chime-like, bell-like treble perfect for rhythm playing.
This guitar model is not only about function but also about form. The aesthetic enhancements include sleek black control knobs, chrome hardware for longevity, and a uniquely styled metallic pickguard that gives the guitar a distinctive, classic look. The icing on the cake is the Olympic White finish, giving the instrument a timeless appeal that’s bound to turn heads whether you’re on stage or in the rehearsal room.
The Squier FSR Affinity Stratocaster HSS, with its multitude of improvements and features, offers fantastic value for its price. If you’re seeking a guitar that brings together reliable performance, timeless style, and a host of practical features, this might be the perfect instrument for you.
