If you are a beginner or hobbyist looking for something to play, it's a good guitar. I don't think I would debut this on stage (though a few times I have tried). With the right modifications, it could be even better so I would say go for it!
I bought this guitar from a music shop (cause it's all they had in left handed). I was disappointed that they had no fenders. I wasn't disappointed when I got it home. I play a lot of punk rock and this thing made my Relient K and blink 182 covers sound great. To add some beef to the palm muting, I tossed in a JB Jr. in the bridge. It was just as thick and full sounding as the Fender counterpart. It certainly didn't outplay it, but it could match it.
The material for the guitar is solid, but it's not my favorite. I think a true Fender could probably blow the quality of this guitar away. It IS a good quality guitar though.
If you're a lefty, and you want a strat and are low on cash...no better option.

.I've just ordered my 3rd Squire. It is what it is and that's why I do not advise modifying the Squire Strat. I use mine for recording and for certain songs it's perfect as is. If I want a hotter sound I use my American Strat. For the money it's a great deal. Buy one, you'll like it.

. I bought the LH , Sunburst, Affinity model. I already upgraded the strings to the ones the expensive models have. The next upgrade will be the pickups ( for a later date). Very happy with this purchase!!!!!!
This guitar is built SOLID!!!!. I checked the specs of the expensive version. This guitar is just as good. Don't let the name keep you from getting it. The sound is great, it looks great. This guitar is going to last.
For the money, this guitar should cost more. The one i got was perfect, nothing wrong! The finish was awesome.

.I am left handed so that cuts me out of the majority of guitar models I can purchase. I have a Les Paul and wanted the SG double cutaway also, then I needed single coil Strat tone to add to my collection, this guitar rocks for a low price! I am putting in a set of Texas Special Stevie Ray Vaughn Pickups! Everything else is perfect, really, total $307 for a great Strat! My custom Ricki cost me $5,000 because the company does not make lefties, this Strat is incredible for such a low price, it sceams good deal, thanks to Custom Guitar's Friend!

.I want to say that the affinity squier is Great.Very cool! Don't be put off by inexpensive Guitars. The Beatles had cheap guitars. The Hofner and Rickenbackers were very inexpensive for their time and look what the Beatles created with those babies. The Squier affinity series also has The Jaguar and The Jazzmaster. Unfortunately for me they are not available for the Lefty, yet.

.For a cheap guitar, it's really not half bad. Not really liking the one ply pickguard. Pickups are ok. Just ok. Don't sound as good as MIM pickups even, but I didn't think they would. Fit wise, everything looks good so far. It was made in 09 and I've had it a year or so. It's really not as bad as I had heard. Wouldn't hold tune, but I had some spare 18:1 Grovers from another guitar lying around I put on. I think with a few more little things, pots, trem block, saddles, it'll be a nice guitar. Certainly not up to MIM standards though. I've been at it 12 years and never had a Squier. It's a good guitar to take when you go on a trip. Like I said, it's not great, but not really terrible either. If you like classic rock, go for it. If you like heavier music, go with something else. I personally wouldn't put nice pickups in a sub $200 instrument, but that's me. When I put new pickups in my MIM, the old ones will go in here. It's really not all that bad. I've played worse cheap Strats.

.I've only had this guitar for a few weeks now and have been thoroughly amazed at how well it plays. I got it from musicians friend for a steal (109) bucks. It was used but looked brand new. The frets are in nice shape as is the neck and all of the hardware works flawlessly. The only thing about this guitar that can be improved would be to upgrade the pickguard to a 3 ply. The one ply is cheap but gets the job done. I am in the process of installing a new duncan ssl 3 pickup and a tortoise 3 ply pickgaurd. I can't wait to play it with the mods done. All in all, fantastic guitar in every way! And you can customize it completely!!!!

.My wife wanted to learn to play the guitar and she is left handed so I ordered this guitar for her out of a Custom Guitar's Friend sale catalog. I fully expected to have to do a lot of setup work on it - but I haven't touched it yet. It came set up with very nice action (no fret buzz), and it was nicely finished with no sharp fret ends. I've seen some very bad Squier guitars in the past but lately they have been making some great one's. I have 7 of them, not a bad one in the bunch. The Classic Vibe series is excellent.

.When I got this guitar for christmas I thought it would break easy and only last me about 1 month. I was wrong ive had this guitar for 3 years now and its still fun to play on. The only thing I dont like is that the paint chips easily, but its not that bad. The paint job was amazing and it was everything I ever wanted in a guitar. If your a lefty and a Beginner, GET IT NOW!!!!!

.I had a mexican made strat and I like the squire much better. It has a rougher sound and a good playability because it weighs less. I did not have to adjust the neck or anything else... Felt like it was set up at factory. Stays in tune as well. Great cheap guitar that just feels right. The neck is thin and slick and comfortable. As far as customer service goes.... Excellent. No complaints.
