Squier Affinity Stratocaster FMT HSS Sienna Sunburst

First of all, I've been playing guitar semi-professionally for over 40 years, including in several bands, and have had quite a few guitars in my hands.
This Squier is absolutely awesome and is only marginally inferior to the original, which costs almost 8 times as much.
This is one of Fender's abilities to produce affordable guitars in a decent quality,
and perhaps also one of the well-kept secrets ?
Curious as I am, I removed the pickguard (I always do this anyway to make it easier to peel off the foil) and lo and behold,
full-size potentiometers were installed ! What a joy, I have saved work ! The workmanship of the interior
is more than I expected and very clean.
The tremolo is designed as a 2-point tremolo and works very pleasantly and easily in both directions.
But the most important thing is the sound! Clear as a bell on the tube amp, slightly distorted, fantastically beautiful, and the humbucker
enables rich rock riffs and high-gain leads, wonderful! This makes it very versatile.
The ceramic magnet pickups deliver an amazingly good sound, not quite as smooth as Alnico-V or ALnico-II, but really usable
and crystal clear in the highs, typical Fender sounds at their best!
I won't be changing the pickups or anything else, the guitar is almost perfect as it is.
Only the edges of the fingerboard, which by the way is very easy to play, I will slightly round off like the original, for a better feel when gripping.
feel when fingering. Nothing needs to be done to the frets, there are no sharp edges and you don't really need to polish them either.
Oh yes, and it looks beautiful too, I couldn't find any flaws in the varnish. TOP !

Grab it while it's still available, and even more so at this price!
