Squier Affinity Strat MN LPB

Its playable and also has a good design

The colors and guitar shape are really good and its easy to play. The only problem I've experienced is that it's very hard to tune.

Big disappointment

After waiting for some moths for this guitar to be available, I finally got it some days ago.

I have many guitars in all price ranges and so I did not expect it to be on par with my MIM or MIA Strats, but somehow to be close to my 2015 Custom 62 CV Telecaster, but for the non-lacquered neck.

Right out of the box I already disliked the feel of the raw wood back of the neck. It was not even polished. As I read others have done, I could polish and wax the neck until it was smooth enough, but that was not my intention from the beginning. At the most, a new set of AlNiCo pickups instead of the ceramic ones, if I didn't like the sound of these. But I did not even reach to this point.

The time it took to try to tune the guitar (the strings kept going out of tune all the time, but I didn't even bother to give it a set of fresh strings) was enough for me to realise that I did not want to keep this guitar. So back it went the next day.

I don't think I buy another guitar for a long time. Which is not a bad thing, considering that I have plenty of them.
