- Edit - I liked the first one I bought from Thomann, that I have now bought another Squier Affinity Stratocaster to mod and upgrade.

I bought this Squier Affinity Strat to practice playing and to
upgrade n mod. It is really a great guitar for its price.
The guitar arrived in two safe boxes from Thomann and in great condition as always.
The overall paint finish is really good , as is the neck which is very smooth and comfortable to play. Great quality finish and quality maple wood.
The frets are very well placed and very smooth.
The pickups do sound nice. At this moment I cannot complain about
the original 2-point tremolo system or the tuners, as they are working very good. They also seem to be made of very good metal/nickel parts. No flaws in them and its keeping in tune when using the tremolo bar alot.
One thing that is a must to be changed on these low-priced instruments is the guitar nut saddle (even though this one is very well cut to shape), later it will be swapped for a better Real Bone-nut or a Graph-Tech
Tusq version. I believe everyone could get a better sounding guitar with a better real bone-nut saddle.
Overall, I give this Squier Affinity Stratocaster a score of 9 out of 10.
It is worth buying one or even two.
Great for beginners as well as pro guitar players.
