Review: A Great Value - I'm a beginner, playing a year now but playing 1++ hours/day. My brother gave me a Chinese LP, but it was just ok. I decided I wanted to experiment with surf music, and this was a cheap guitar with a whammy bar. I had low expectations, but wow is this a great value! I am mechanically inclined, so I did my own setup using internet sources. Very little setup required, minor neck relief, it was great out of the box. The finish is beautiful, I could find no imperfections. I was able to set the action to 3/32", very low with no buzzing. The pickups were the only letdown, I still cant bring the lower string volume up to match the high strings to my liking, but it still sounds very good. Two very important qualities of this Affinity Stratocaster that I like: 1:The neck (nut) width is short, I measured 1-5/8", which is great for people with small hands. 2: This guitar weighed in at 7.5 lbs, very light. The whammy (tremolo/vibrato/whatever) bar works fine, and does not cause the guitar to go out of tune, at least playing surf music. If you go Eddie Van Halen on it, all bets off. My only criticism is that it attaches with coarse thread, so it wont stay where you leave it. I'm going to try teflon tape on the bar threads. I was blown away by the quality for the price. And the surf green looks great!
Review: It plays fantastic and stays in tune while playing even after some tremolo dive-bombs. - I'm going to say right off the bat I know very little about guitars and this is my first electric I bought to use to learn. However the quality of this guitar seems to be pretty good. It should be known that the Affinity model has a slightly smaller locking nut than a standard stratocaster if that that matters to you. The finish on it is really nice, the silvery grey pickguard looks great against the black body. The rosewood fretboard is very smooth and well finished. The fret wires are nice and comfortable and not "cheese-gratery". It stays in tune very well and I haven't felt the need to block the tremolo. You'll probably want to replace the strings right away and the pick-ups eventually. A good inexpensive guitar for a beginner that is easily upgrade-able is my take. I purchased from Sam Ash through desertcart. I'll answer any questions I can. Update: Still playing and loving this guitar. I took it to a local music shop for a professional setup, new strings (D'Addario 9's), and they also smoothed the fretwire ends and polished them. It plays fantastic and stays in tune while playing even after some tremolo dive-bombs. I still recommend it for a beginner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
*by R***N on July 24, 2018*

I just received this guitar today. Unboxed it and did a real close inspection. Nothing is wrong with it, It is a very well made guitar. After a tuning it up I plugged it into my marshal amp. The neck feels so smooth and slick pickups sound pretty good so far. I am really impressed with this guitar. After I play with it awhile i will update this review. I've had this guitar for about 3 weeks now. Put new strings on it and adjusted the intonation. String height was OK and pickup height was just fine. The tone is pretty good but will put alnico 5 's on it in the future. otherwise it needs nothing else it plays great looks great and is a very nice guitar to play. The maple fretboard is a lot better feeling than the rosewood, i'm very well pleased with this guitar. would buy another one in a minute.
