Electric guitar with alder body, screwed maple neck and versatile pickup equipment
The Squier Stratocaster HSS RW OYW Affinity Series 6-String Olympic White is a 6-string model featuring an alder body, a maple neck, a rosewood fretboard, and comes in an Olympic white finish. The Affinity Strat HSS is one of the best value electric guitars on the market, and this model delivers a solid sound and aesthetics thanks to single-coil and humbucker pickups combined with a single-ply “platinum sparkle” pickguard.
Equipped with a maple neck this guitar has a "C"-shaped profile with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with white dot inlays and 21 medium jumbo frets. Five-way pickup switching offers an array of versatility, whilst a vintage-style synchronised tremolo bridge ensures stable intonation and tuning reliability.

i just love the feel of this guitar. I would have given it a full 5 stars but the frets had some sharp edges but was easily fixed. Pickups sound amazing though both the humbucker and single coil sound spot on. And the colour wow looks very cool indeed. The guitar is fairly light compared to my epiphone les paul. Extremely happy with my purchase and DV247 are first class all the way. Dont be put off by the Affinity series they are very well made and stand up well to the Fender series.

Bought this Squire HSS Strat to practice on so I don't overly use my American one (which gets used for gigs) and for the money it plays and sounds really well. Got to also say it was very well packaged and arrived with a 1hr delivery window which is always good. An all round good buying experience.

The squier series is top notch for a cheaper version of the fender its self the sound is incredible and very well made. The strings feel very light and easy to play. as for the body it's study and just the right weight and very flashy. All in all I'm very happy with this.
