Fender Affinity Series Guitar with Maple Fingerboard, Butterscotch Blonde

Got this on promo because I had some CV pickups around and decided it would be fun to install them as they didnt sound that bad. Mine is a Chinese made 21 model - String through body and belly cut. I honestly was very impressed by this guitar. For the price I paid it is great. Sounded great out of the box with the ceramic pickups - I considered not to change them but it does sound nicer now with the CV pups. Neck is like a player series but slighlty smaller. Frets are smaller also and are kind of scratchy which could be easily fixed but I honestly didnt bother. It will go away. Colour is kind of mustard but it looks like a one piece body (!!) Very light and resonant. Poplar has some greenish veins going through it so it will not look butterscotch. Only complaint is a small ding on one of the ferrule inserts and the skunk stripe which seems to be made from not so good wood and you actually feel the imperfections when you run your fingers through it - Probably thats why it was on promo. Not a deal breaker and for the price, I'm really happy with it. Highly recommend it.

The guitar arrived earlier than expected and there are some wear and tear on the packaging but the guitar itself is in pristine condition considering I purchased it from Amazon Warehouse. No string buzzing whatsoever, the frets are all nice and smooth but I have to further tweak the string action, bridge action and the pickup heights for my playing preference. The satin C shape neck is a joy to play, the tuners keep their tune, and the pickups are excellent for the price. It did not come with a case and strap but I have no complains, this is a great value guitar!

I can put this one down it’s become my go-to guitar. I’ve been a Squier fan for many years and this one lives up to my expectations. The packaging was secure and well-packed to ensure no dings. The neck plays very well and action was great right out of the box. No truss rod adjustment needed at all. Frets are smooth with no jagged ends. The neck is a satin- finished, slim C shape and body finish is astounding- beautiful butterscotch blonde with a beautiful gloss. This has a belly cut that makes it very comfortable to play. The bridge is a modern style vs the ashtray style. I prefer the one on this because it’s easier rest my palm. The modern bridge saddles make intonation and string height adjustments easy. The strings also go through the body, which adds a more full, crisp sound. The tuners are good and there weren’t any issues. I put D’Addario locking autotrim tuners on all my guitars but if I couldn’t the stock ones would be ok as they are. FYI - the D’Addario tuners I mentioned require no drilling and are direct drop-ins. The nut is synthetic bone and I found no issues with spacing. The pickups are ok and most will be happy with them. However I put in noiseless single coils. Most people love Squiers because they’re also great modding platforms and this one is no different but this one can stand on its own just as it is stick. Very fast comfy neck, decent pickups, and a great finish make this one a winner.

Bought the Squier Affinity Series Butterscotch Telecaster Electric Guitar! Got it in great shape, well packed! This is a review as I have now adjusted the neck, added my preferred stringing, and was delighted the intonation was great! When this was completed I again tried my capo and it worked fine! Very pleased with it as it's my first Telecaster! Having the controls further away from the strings is a bonus as I have certain strumming patterns for several songs and the controls don't get in the way! The tones and pickups are terrific! The condition of the frets are perfect and smooth! The tuning is very good! Loving it! Thanks Shawn at the Belville store for yous help and suggestions! Great buy!

1a vez que uma guitarra comprada via internet chega TOTALMENTE REGULADA. Braço reto, ação correta, entonação correta. Não precisei fazer nada. Saí tocando direto. Para torná-la uma verdadeira Fender, só precisa trocar os captadores (como quase toda Squier que não seja a Classic Vibe).
