    • Mine Is Perfect
Color: Olympic White Style: HSS Strat
The only negative on this is that the body is slightly thinner than a standard strat but it's not Squier Bullet thin. The neck is not thin at all , it's actually a little thicker than a lot of other guitar that I own. It seems like it has 9 gauge strings on it , I use 10's but they are not 10's . Mine came already setup. I am an experienced player and setup tech . I use string height gauges to measure when I do a set up and I use my ears . This guitar has very low action ( 6th string is 1.75 mm height exactly at the 12th fret ) and very straight neck yet no fret buzz anywhere , maybe the thinner strings are why , less vibration. If these are 9 gauge I'll keep them on be cause I love the set up . I fear they might be 8's though and will have to go. The intonation was on target also . I had to adjust absolutely nothing on this guitar . The pups sound great , the finish is flawless , it's a yellowish white , not really Olympic White like a Fender and I'm totally loving this color. This axe is light weight , I would make a guess at 6 pounds . The neck and frets are great . I played a few Iron Maiden tunes on it note for note and a Scorpions song and it stayed in tune. I don't use the trem because I don't solo much at all. You can't go wrong with this instrument . It's going to be my number one at home now . ... show more

    • Squier Affinity HSS
Color: Metallic Black Style: HSS Strat
Very well made for a budget Fender. Thought I would have to at least replace strings and tuning heads but they are sufficient. The intonation didn't even need any adjustment, string height was fine and neck was straight, good action and no fret buzz. No fret filing necessary either. Only con is that the pickup selector switch could be a bit sturdier. ... show more

    • Well made guitar
Color: Metallic Black Style: HSS Strat
Very nice guitar at a good price. Well packaged. Right out of the box the set-up was almost perfect. Action was perfect and intonation only required minor tweaking on one string. I have a number of Fender products and the sound of this Squire Strat is comparable to the made in Mexico Fender Strats at less than a third of the price. Squire has come a long way in producing quality guitars in recent years. ... show more

    • Pleasantly Surpised
Color: Black with Tortoise Shell Style: Stratocaster
I found the build quality and play-ability was excellent. It also has the classic strat sound (at least to me). I adjusted the neck to my preference and it just plays and sounds great. Excellent fit an finish. I was amazed that out of the box the intonation was spot on! Extremely satisfied with my purchase. I was originally thinking for the this money; I might upgrade the pickups and or the neck. But for me, it's perfect the way it is! NOTE: I'm retired and owned a few American Stratocasters over the years and I really can't tell much difference (if any). ... show more

    • It’s a Keeper
Color: Olympic White Style: HSS Strat
Why I purchased this budget Strat… 1) curiosity - had to see it for myself, 2) project guitar - future upgrade of electronics. Overall build quality was a pleasant surprise for a guitar in this price range. Nice finish, smooth neck, even fret height, and acceptable electronics for now. A few cons.. not surprisingly, this is not the same quality as a guitar costing 10 times more. The fret ends needed some filing/smoothing; the intonation was a little off on the 6th string, and the action was just a bit high. These were all easily remedied. This would be a great guitar for someone just starting, or on a tight budget, or someone looking for a decent starting point for a project guitar. ... show more

Color: Olympic White Style: HSS Strat
I’m very happy with this guitar. It arrived in perfect condition. Set up was nice. Played with it right out of the box. Body style is very comfortable. It’s so versatile that I can play different styles of music with it. It’s become my favorite of all 7 guitars that I own. A great value for the money. ... show more

    • A good guitar for anybody, beginner or long-time player.
Color: Metallic Black Style: HSS Strat
Mine arrived in perfect condition. No flaws, fret sprout, or fit and finish issues. I've changed the strings to what I like, adjusted the trem accordingly, and that's it. Maybe I'm just lucky, but both this one and the Squier Telecaster I ordered from Amazon, and shipped from Austin Bazaar, arrived quickly and in good shape. ... show more
