David B Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 My son has an Affinity Strat (sunburst). Great guitar. I play it a lot.Spent some time setting it up and it now has a wonderful low action. To be fair, it was perfectly playable before but is just so much better now.A perfect beginners guitar. Good enough for a modest pick up upgrade come time.A lot of people turn their noses up at Affinitys. Don't fall in to that trap.I know that Domino has had his one for sale for a while. Make him sporting offer.PS I don't know who Domino is. I'm not trying to get a "sale for a mate". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britheguy Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 David B. what do you mean Make him sporting offer'? Do propose that they race round the block, and the winner gets/keeps the guitar? That is a nice looking Squire though. I fancy a getting a squire tele and beefing it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David B Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Britheguy - surely a sporting offer is better than an unsporting one.Do you remember our mutual acquaintance who had an aversion to anything with Affinity on the headstock?As I recall, you ended up buying that one and it was a great wee guitar.Wish beginners guitars were that good when I was a lad.

Domino Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Wish beginners guitars were that good when I was a lad.Heh, probably the guitars were a lot better than old crappy Russian or Czechoslovakian (not only) guitars believe me :-)) Brands such as Jolana, Musima etcSquiers are great guitars for beginners :-) Believe it or not :]] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't even play it, a "nah, that's shite" and that was that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I've found with some Affinity guitars is the slightly rough edges on the fingerboard, it makes them fell very 'unplayed' if you know what I mean. A wee nub down would work a treat.

(For me as well:)):-)) Haven't actually played or tried a jap strat. I wouldn't say that the edges are sharp on all the affinity series :-) Anyway, once i tried few gibson sg Specials... made in usa, f..... shit :] Edges were sharp, the wood wasn't polished properly, especially on the horns... And it costs 550 quid... :[Are you russian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
