    I bought a Squier Affinity charcoal Frost Metallic HSS boxed with amp, cable, strap etc. Playable right out of the box. I like the thinner body. Sounds great.

    I need to jump in on this conversation. I was given an Affinity Strat as a thank you for helping somebody move. I already own a Fender Strat Deluxe Plus. So, I'm very comfortable with strats. This guitar is amazing as a budget instrument. It does not play like my high end strat but that doesn't mean it doesn't play well. I'm a guitar teacher and I would proudly recommend this guitar to my students.

      how about comparing to a Squier Classic Vibe 70s Telecaster custom, in terms of quality ?
      I am totally undecided to either go with a Strat or Tele, but the named above CV is currently almost at par price wise for around 285 compared with the Affinity Series models...
      Any suggestions from anyone perhaps ? cheers ! ❤

      ​@@dennisw3892 I understand why the stats arm more popular than teles,. Comfort,. The strat is perfectly without any sharp edges!. It makes you enjoy the instrument,. You can have it on to your lap, without feeling them sharp axe egdes.. Sound is ok on both,.. Get hold on one of the summer 23 sonic series,.. And let your tele dream be next year's to come.. My opinion,. The sonic series are such good guitars!!.. 👌

      What did you do to tweak it to your liking? If nothing then you are not getting a proper understanding of. I lowered the action on mine, rounded fret board, polished frets, sanded neck with fine sand paper put low saddles screws ( it feels like a smooth metal surface now), straighten truss rod to perfection ( iterative process). They all sound difficult but in reality was very easy and all done in less than 40 minutes. The reason I did it was to see if I could get the feel of the Ultra-Lux on it. I played the Ultra Lux , characterized the differences and rued to mimick with only minor tweaks. The Ultra has a different neck carve I prefer but the playability was better on my Squier and feel was 95% to me. As an engineer I think this way and as a citizen I see we are fooled by branding brainwashing across all things in Western countries.

    I've got both an Affinity Telecaster and an Affinity Stratocaster HSS.
    The necks feel identical to to me, though the Strat does have a laurel frett board. ( maple on the Teley. )
    I like the idea that I can have two really good guitars for far less than the price of one MiM Fender of either kind.

    You are exactly right. All the reasons you mentioned is what I’ve found through my research and trying them out. The vibe is great for cleans- but can not handle overdrive very well. The neck is wider and the bridge is better! Those pickups are not bad. They use the same pickups on the sonic. Which sound good. Not crazy about the thinner body. But it does work.

    Ten to twenty years ago, I had little to no respect for a Squier Affinity, but things have changed -- Fender/squier has improved overall build, finishes, and Q.C. on the Affinity instruments, from what I've experienced.
    I recently purchased a used/like-new Affinity on the cheap, and am happy with it; plan to keep it for a good while at this time.

    Thank you for posting this review. You have done a superb job describing what makes the Affinity a great instrument. (It's not merely a great guitar "for the money," but a great guitar, period.) Like you, I was torn between the CV Strat and the Affinity. It was the smooth, non-sticky matte finish on the back of the Affinity's neck that was the main influential factor in choosing it over the CV. (I DID really like the way the CV looked; a part of my side-by-side test was playing both instruments with my eyes closed.) Since I've bought the Affinity in 2000 (a "crafted in China" product), I've modded it a bit: I replaced the nut with a Graph Tech TUSQ, and replaced the stock tuners with Graph Tech Ratio locking ones. (The difference between the cost of the tuners alone and the cost of the guitar isn't much, haha.) I completely agree that the Affinity ceramic pickups sound terrific! I have a Squier CV 50s Telecaster with alnico pickups, and yes, the Affinity's budget ceramic pickups actually DO sound better to my ears; go figure! I'm also a fan of the thinner body. The guitar is incredibly comfortable to play. I keep regular light 10 gauge strings on it, and I've found the pure nickel ones pair beautifully with the pickups. Thank you again for your review; I cannot recommend the Squier Affinity Strat enough!

    If my Affinity had the small headstock it would be perfect for me. I did very simple things that made it so close to pro level. Perfect setup rounded neck edges ( very easy) smoothed out fret ends, roller string tree and sanded neck to leave almost no finish but not leave bare wood, multiple levels of sanding ( $8 for micro sheets on Amazon). Last wasn’t necessary but it made a world of difference for me, loaded black pickguard with 9K output single coils.

Sanded the fretboard edges and fret edges, set everything up and I now enjoy this as much as my core silver sky. I first bought the classic vibe and never even plugged it in before returning it. HORRIBLE gloss slop everywhere and just plain uncomfortable to hold. I LOVE this new affinity strat and hey, give that head stock some loving. Far nobler to play the heck out of a great budget guitar than fumble away on a prestige model.

I agree with everything you said about the Affinity except that I actually prefer the big headstock. My first strat was a '75 and my guitar hero strat players were all playing the big head ones. I also like the vintage 50's style strats, so I like those headstocks as well. Anyway, the Affinity is a terrific value and could go for more money. I also prefer the satin finish necks, and the Affinity's neck is awesome, it's one of the best features.

I like it especially for the price and plan to keep mine for now.

So about 2 months ago i started seeing the reviews on the cherry burst affinity with the humbucker and 2 single coils so i had to buy it from musicians friend for 288 with a discount. great guitar sounds great. i like the big headstock i like the neck feel and size. i dont like the thinner body and 7 pound weight but all in all a good guitar with great sound. doesnt compare to the classis vibe 50s but good guitar. so i got them both.. just for a little info on me. i have gibson les paul standards. ive played them since 1976. nothing fender makes compares to them but i bought these two for something different and something different i got. you didnt go wrong with the affinity at all. mine is beautiful in the figured maple top in the sunburst. id not have the blue!!

    I ended up picking a bullet telecaster over the affinity because I preferred the thinner body, closer to the G400 I typically play. Playability and comfort is such a big part of picking a guitar, especially in this budget price range where we are likely to eventually change out hardware and electronics. I got new pickups and electronics from GFS for not much, if anything, more shipped than I would have ended up spending on the affinity.

    The most controversial statement you make is that you like the ceramic pickups better. I have the FMT strat, which I'm thinking of getting rid of, mostly because I don't like the pickups. My tone is pretty close to what a country player would use, which is mostly clean, with a bit of crunch, and some echo, and I get a better sound out of my Yamaha Pacifica 112V with the Alnico 5 pickups. I do like the matte neck much nicer than the glossy neck on my Squier paranormal Tele. I have an older affinity Tele, which I upgraded with Fender Tex/Mex pickups and that guitar is AWESOME. BTW I do like the six-point trem on the pacifica much better than the two-point trem on the Affinity, but I don't really know enough about trems for my opinion to be of much value.
