Squier Stratocaster |
|
The Squier Stratocaster is made in China by Fender Guitars. The Affinity and Standard series guitars are a low cost option to the American Made and Mexican Made standard Fender Stratocasters. They are affordable guitars ideal for beginners and intermediate guitarists of all ages. The Affinity Series are made in China by Fender and are the lowest cost Strats by Fender you'll find. They have similar styling to the American and Mexican Made Strat and are ideal for beginners and intermediate guitarists of all ages. It's the best in that the features to cost ratio is rather high. This isn't a 'cheap' guitar especially if you look at its overall construction. As with the American and Mexican made Fenders both the Standard and Affinity have bolt-through neck (bolt-on) and are very smooth feeling necks. The body of the guitar is also slimmer and lighter weight. There also aren't as many finish options available.
The Standard Series are closer to the Fender versions. The body is similar in size and shape as the Fender version. Also the fretboard has 22 frets and not 21 as found on the Affinity guitars. The standard versions also use Alnico magnets in their pickups. There are a number of different finishes and woods available in the Standard versions as well. These guitars are for beginners or intermediate players who want a better playing and sounding guitar but can't afford a Mexican Made Fender. The Deluxe Series guitars are similar to the standard versions with the added transparent finish and basswood body. They have the same functionality and sound as the standards as well. Great tone at an affordable price.
