The single coil pickups on the guitar definitely provide a very nice, warm sound. The mid and low ranges might seem a little more dull, but as a beginner player, you will not be noticing any difference. The Alder body of the guitar would have been a little expensive about 20 years ago, but thanks to the Asian source of the hardwood, the player can have access to the high tones of the tonewood. The beginner picking up the instrument will have a great time practicing and playing it. The guitar sounds really good, especially for the price range it is in. Still, starting out, you will not be needing much more than the flexibility in sound these provide. While these pickups are pretty acceptable for the first-timers and even average players, some of us might find them lacking and decide to upgrade. The guitar has three Standard Single-Coil Strat pickups, each dedicated to the bridge, middle and neck of the guitar individually. The electronics on these guitars are pretty average.

While a professional might look to replace them soon after getting them, the beginner will find these strings acceptable.

Medium gauge, full enough sound and malleability are all acceptable. The strings that come with the guitar are definitely nice, something a beginner will find useful. Don’t expect all of the hardware to last eternally though. Since this is a beginner guitar, and cheap as it is, this is acceptable. They seem like they will last a while, though there have been reports from players that the hardware wears down and needs to be replaced a year or two into owning the guitar. The bolts through the neck, the neck plate, and all the ones I mentioned before have a sturdy look. The hardware of the guitar, ranging from the bridge to the string buttons, fret markers are all well enough made.
The fretboard itself is high quality and smooth, highly resistant to wear and tear from play and practice. The neck itself is sturdy and slender, making the Rosewood fretboard easy to access.

And let’s be honest – Fender has been making them for a while and knows how to bolt one on right. Such necks can be found both on inexpensive and high-end guitars, and that’s why seeing it on affordable Squier isn’t a surprise. The maple neck of the guitar is bolt-on, just like on other Stratocasters from Fender.
This has no effect on the guitar though, keeping the construction as sturdy as with North American alder. The guitar is manufactured in China, and this shows through the fact that the Alder used in the body is slightly different from what was used in the past. The body of the guitar is Alder, a very respectable tonewood that has a long history of being used in the Fender series electric guitars. In the case of the Squier Affinity Strat we have a very interesting combination of tonewoods and construction that results in an affordable, but a quality guitar. The build quality of the guitar is important to consider, especially if you are looking for a guitar you want to build memories with. Without any further ado, let me introduce Squier Affinity Stratocaster, the guitar you will have no way to excuse yourself from buying. You over there have been considering picking one up for so long, it is not even funny how many excuses you have come up with to not buy one so far. We all want a good electric guitar for beginners. It is high time we all take a strong look at ourselves in the mirror and be honest with ourselves.
