The Affinity Stratocaster is one of the smartest buys in the electric guitar world. Three single-coil pickups with 5-way switching give you the complete Strat tonal palette -- glassy cleans, percussive funk tones, singing leads, and those iconic in-between positions that are impossible to replicate with any other pickup configuration.The Affinity series offers meaningful upgrades over the entry-level Sonic and Bullet lines: better hardware, a more refined neck profile, and pickups with a touch more clarity and output. The 2-point tremolo bridge adds expressive vibrato when you want it, and the slim C neck plays fast and comfortably. This is the guitar where many players first fall in love with the Stratocaster sound, and it's good enough that plenty of people keep playing theirs long after they could afford something more expensive.
