Review: Surprisingly Good! - For many years I bought Epiphone Les Pauls instead of Gibsons because I'm an engineer and often need to drill some holes. I feel a bit nervous about doing such with a $3K guitar, so, well, that's what started it. And then I discovered something: there's really no difference in quality nor tone between Gibson and Epiphone. I've got some (unmodified) Epiphones that I dearly love - as good as anything I have from Gibson, in fact. So I bought this Squier for much the same reason. I love my Fender Strats, but I needed something to drill holes in, and I've always liked Sienna Sunburst with a maple fingerboard. And, guess what? This is a fine, fine guitar. I would say, except for the pickups, it's as good as an equivalent Fender, and I need to swap those out anyway. Fit, finish, factory setup, quality overall - no issues. This is a flat-out bargain! The only thing I'd change, in fact, has nothing to do with the instrument itself. desertcart should double box these - the box was so damaged upon receipt, in fact, that I was sure I'd find only sawdust upon opening. Nope - just fine. But that's sheer luck, I think. Anyway - get one. Even if you decide to change the pickups it's still an amazing bargain.
Review: A HUGE bang for the buck! - I have been playing guitar - electric & acoustic - for over 55 years. I have owned incredible guitars in my past - an original 1954 Les Paul Custom, a 1971 tobacco burst Telecaster, a vast variety of collectible Stratocasters, an R9 Les Paul, etc. Last year we moved to Panama and I took my Yamaha Revstar with me along with my RainSong OM Acoustic. However, I initially figured I would not get into a band here and ended up selling my Revstar to a young guy. WRONG! What a mistake... I have had electric guitars all my life and now I didn't have anything except my acoustic. A dear friend of mine who is a revered blues guitarist from the USA said... 'if you want to get something cheap that's still good, you can't beat the Squier Affinity... I got one, changed the pickups, tuners and 5-position switch and I love it!" So I took his advice and purchased this particular guitar as I like the sound of a humbucker in the bridge position. I purchased a 'used - like new' version (thereby saving about $50) from desertcart and it arrived down here in relatively short order. I gotta say... I was blown away! I had always stayed away from any guitar built in China, but I have to admit... this guitar, for the price, is unbeatable. It plays really nice... pickups sound pretty good... guitar finish is beautiful... stays in tune (so far). I will change out a thing or two down the road, but I just love it! For the price it is really quite incredible. If you are new, or even a seasoned player like myself, I think you will really agree with me that Fender really have hit a home run with their Squier Affinity series Stratocasters!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Stratocaster for an Affordable Price
*by S***C on June 4, 2025*

After playing a friend's Squire, I began looking for a sunburst Stratocaster with a maple neck to replace an early 1955 strat I foolishly sold in 1975. This Fender Squire Affinity Stratocaster with HSS, 5 way pickup switch, beautiful sunburst finish, and the light maple neck looks very similar to my first strat. The action and sound are both excellent, and the modern pickups maintain the traditional strat sound without the hum and noise of the early strats. The humbucker pickup adds a new dimension. In my opinion, this is an excellent guitar for a very reasonable price for both performance and recording.
