    I started playing a week ago and I had an old electric guitar from when rocksmith original came out. I was maybe 8 or 9 when I got it and after a week it gave out on me. So I went to GC today and picked one of these bad boys up and I love it. I was able to play power chords and they didn’t sound terrible 😂 I’m happy so far can’t wait to see how i progress

    60 year pro player here. Loved this video. I spent a whopping $190 shipped on a brand new (listed as mint) Lake Placid Blue Affinity and I love it! Even the pickups! Something about these pickups - they don't have that extreme treble and thinness that I don't like in a Strat pickup. I don't personally care for those Knopfler/Cray type tones. The only gripes are: the neck needed a final sanding which took a few minutes with 1500 grit sandpaper. Easy-peasy. Very little if any setup needed. The only other issue is pulling up on the trem, the block immediately bangs against wood, so I'll likely do a bit of routing for a little more clearance. I'm super happy - I've spent a lot more on a ONE PEDAL! Just for reference I had a Am. Performer that was way less quality. One of the wires was only soldered on ONE STRAND of wire, amongst other issues. Even had serious QC issues with a Suhr. Go figure.

    Great video! I bought a Squier Affinity Stratocaster just so I'd have one with 3 single coil pickups to play around with and I really like it. It was great right out of the box. I also like the way the ceramic pickups sound.

    I got this guitar brand new for free from trading in a yucky Fender Telecaster (the trussrod was shot and the nut was poorly cut) along with $50. This guitar was absolutely the greatest guitar I’ve ever played, the sound is amazing! And the neck is absolutely smooth! The tuning stability is awesome! Cant believe that I just learned here that they’re basically the same as a fender Strat just an extra few hundred bucks more minus a few minor differences! I love this guitar!

    Great review , Thank you. I just bought one in black color and it is everything and more you said. Overall great finish and a very smooooth neck. Well placed frets and
    also a very good tremolo system. Can´t complain much about the tuners because its staying in tune. May swap them later for some Fender or Gotoh Locking tuners.
    I am going to use this guitar as a base for some cool upgrades. Thank you for the video reviews and your good advice.

    You may have just sold me on buying one damnit. I had one back in the late 90s that I don't play anymore because Mark Tremonti decided to scribble and write all over the front of it in silver in 2003.

    I got an Affinity the first year of manufacture, 1997. It's quite different than what Affinitys eventually became. Full sized body, probably alder. Small headstock. 12 inch fretboard radius. Dimensions more akin to an MIM. I've parted out the tuners, nut, all pickups and electronics entire vibrato and bridge system and input jack and pickguard, so I guess it's no longer an Affinty...but it's mine. Oh yeah, it was made in China.

    I play a squier tele i used to play a fender american but i like ther squier better and the finish on the neck is way nicer and less shiny crap on it

  • @Gliese710_
    @Gliese710_ หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’d be cool if they made an ‘affinity plus’, like the player plus. Instead of going classic vibe, it’s a $400-500 range with a 2 point trem, slightly better pickups (overwounds would be epic) and locking tuners.

  • @ran6009
    @ran6009 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Replace pickups, replace the tuners, replace the bridge, get the frets properly dressed -- and, in the end, you still finish with a Squier for which you paid more than for a proper Fender strat (player s) not even to talk about the Squier CV's which, BTW are more than a decent guitars not only for the amateur or bedroom players.

    As a person who's owned genuine Fender high tier guitars and Squier I can honestly say the difference is minimal.. The necks are slightly different and the electronics are different (not worse, just different) the Squier usually weighs less, but in terms of a massive difference in tone and playing experience there's very little.. Alder is a rather bland tone wood so it's on par with literally anything else, Leo used it because it was cheap, stable and easily found it had absolutely nothing to do with tone it was 100% a profit situation.. I'd tell anyone don't waste the money on a Fender go get you a used Squier and call it a day..
    If we wanted to go further, I'd tell you don't even buy an American Fender but go get a Tokai because they're just better in every single way...
    Contrary to popular beliefs, American guitars aren't the king and once you start playing Japanese guitars you'll feel like you have been lied to for your entire life...

    I would have more Squiers if they didn't have the 70's headsock on far too many models. I can't stand it.

      Most the Indonesia stuff is more expensive than the China stuff. If it was 200 even its most likely china. If it's 249 it's most likely Indonesia.
