There are basically two schools of thought on electric guitars: the Fender and the Gibson, both with plenty of merits. If you're a Fender fan on a budget, this may be the perfect guitar for you. The Squire Strat is the most widely-sold guitar in the world, and it's easy to see why. You get a lot of bang for your buck, and as you progress in your ability, they are about the easiest guitars out there to customize and upgrade. The good: Inexpensive and easy to find - there are tons of them out there, and usually under $100 for a good used one. Easy playability and iconic looks - they're patterened after the classic Fender Stratocaster, a proven and instantly recognizable design. Customizable - just in pickguards alone you could go crazy with simple bolt-on upgrades. If you have some experience with electronics, the sky is the limit with all the pickup and wiring combinations you can try. It's easy to create your own personalized sound. The not as good: Know you limitations - you're not going to take this thing on tour right out of the box. Be prepared for a little set up, a little tweaking hear and there. The pickups and single-ply white guard combo that you'll find on 90% of the Squier Strats out there are adequate to learn and play around with, but to really open up your sound or look you'll probably want to pursue an upgrade. Overall: You get what you pay for, and with the Squier Affinity Strat, you get a lot of value for a little cash. You can't expect it to perform like a guitar that is 5x the price tag, but it holds it's own against anything out there on the entry-level market and has a lot of character to go with it. Play on.Read full review
I'm fairly new to owning guitars so I don't have much of a reference but as far as sound and playability, it's comfortable and easy and sounds pretty decent. Again, this is my first electric guitar so I don't know much about them but the knobs on the body don't seem to do anything. And the guitar goes out of tune fairly easily. Usually not while being played though. Overall, 4 stars

With TLC on the fretboard in cleaning, oiling, plus dressing, polishing up the frets, new strings and a setup, she'll be given to a youth whom can't afford buy a guitar but wants to learn and play guitar and stay in school!

The ones with the "Made in Indonesia" label with the serial that starts "IC" are remarkably good guitars. I have a blurple one with a rosewoodish fretboard. A little fine finishing on the nut, and it even stays in tune when I use the vibrato bar. I used to have a 1989 USA Fender Stratocaster, and thats what I compare it to when I say it is a really good guitar. Not as good as the USA Standard, but way too good for its price point.

This guitar is 25 years old and I can tell it has been played a lot over the years. It definitely shows its age. After completely dismantling every inch of the guitar and cleaning, polishing, and setting it up per Fender specs, it sounds amazing. I love it. I now have 3 of these guitars. The other two are 1993 MIK. I also a one of the extremely rare 1994 Fender Telecaster 'Squier Series' MIM. All are awesome guitars.
