Solidbody Electric Guitar with Poplar Body, Maple Neck, Maple Fretboard and 3 Single-Coil Pickups

The Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster electric guitar delivers the iconic double-cutaway Strat style and versatile tone that has made Fender a household name, all at a price that fits any budget. This Strat features a classic contoured alder body that's lightweight and comfortable, perfect for marathon practice sessions or all-night gigs. It's loaded with a trio of Squier single-coil pickups, providing a palette of tones from sparkling clean to searing rock distortion. Dial in everything from sweet country twang to funky rhythm and biting lead, all at your fingertips via the 5-way pickup selector switch. The slim maple fingerboard has a modern 9.5" radius and 21 medium jumbo frets for fast, smooth riffing. Intonation stays true thanks to the Strat's two-point tremolo bridge that provides expressive, stable pitch bending. The tuning machines are sealed and die-cast for rock solid tuning stability. Every aspect of this Squier Strat is designed to inspire, whether you're a first-time player or a gigging musician.

Iconic Double-Cutaway Alder Body For Lightweight Comfort

The contoured alder body of the Squier Stratocaster is a hallmark of the model's elegant style and ergonomics. The double-cutaway design provides easy access to the higher register frets while still retaining the Strat's well-balanced feel. Weighing in at a lightweight 7lb. you can play this guitar for hours on end without wearing down your shoulders. The slim profile makes it a great choice for younger players and those with smaller hands. When you pick up this Squier, you'll immediately feel how comfortable and natural the Stratocaster really is. The smooth finish lets your forearm glide easily while adding your personalized flair.

Trio of Versatile Squier Single-Coil Pickups

The secret behind the Stratocaster's versatile tone is its trio of single-coil pickups. This Squier Affinity Strat comes loaded with a set of Alnico V single-coils providing dynamics that range from crystalline cleans to raucous overdrive. The neck pickup serves up rounded lows and balanced mids, perfect for rhythm playing. The middle pickup boosts jangly top end and punchy mids to cut through the mix. Hit the bridge pickup when you need to soar into screaming lead territory. With the 5-way pickup selector switch, you've got full tonal control at your fingertips. Mix the pickups to craft your own signature tones.

Slim and Fast Maple Fingerboard

This Squier comes equipped with a slim C-shaped maple neck topped with a maple fingerboard for smooth, comfortable playing. The modern 9.5" radius feels familiar to most electric guitarists and makes string bending a breeze. Medium jumbo frets allow for expressive vibrato techniques. The maple fingerboard provides tight, bright tone with plenty of snap and clarity. Combined with the lightweight alder body, this Strat rings out with sustain while still delivering tight low end. The slim neck profile gives your hand flexibility to move freely up and down the fingerboard.

Two-Point Tremolo Bridge

What's a Strat without its iconic tremolo bridge? This Squier comes complete with a synchronized two-point tremolo bridge that provides stable tuning and expressive, fluttering pitch effects. The six die-cast saddles keep your strings locked in tune, even if you get a little carried away with your whammy bar dives. The tremolo action is super smooth, allowing you to add vibrato to chords or leads. Dial in how much give you want with the tremolo tension adjuster. Every player needs a good whammy bar in their arsenal of effects and this Stratocaster delivers.
