Fender Squier Affinity Strat RW

The Squier Affinity Strat represents amazing value for money. For about a hundred quid you get a strat endorsed by Fender with a great neck. This is a guitar streets ahead of all those cheap Chinese copies (which you should definitely avoid!)... but it's not all good news, a couple of cheap components let an otherwise great guitar down. There are hundreds of strat clones out there but all they do is form a mountain of plywood trash... forget them. There is only one decent copy of the Fender Strat and that is Fender's own Squier Strat with alder body and maple neck. I bought one recently to experiment on.

As a first guitar for the more beginner guitarist, i doubt you will find a better value guitar than the squier strat by fender. If you are thinking of taking up the guitar, i would strongly recommend this to you, due to its price tag mainly. Its extremely durable, sounds the part and has a great finish.
