Re: What do you guys think of your Squiers?

Alexander Thorburn Hoffman (indiglowblue) - 25 Mar 2005 23:07:51

I own a 2002 Affinity Strat made in Indonesia. It's my first and only
guitar so what I say may not mean a thing, but it's been great. I got
it with their "strat pak" deal, along with a front man amp for about
300 after tax. Even though I got it because it was a good deal, I
don't see how much better a Fender strat would be in comparison. But
again, I wouldn't really know.
