The Squier Affinity Stratocaster HH LRL combines a legendary model with the kind of effortless playability that makes it suitable for budding guitarists. Its striking poplar body radiates with a dreamy gloss finish and a bold 3-ply black pickguard whilst its elegant curves beg the ambition and skill of aspiring musicians. And thanks to a thin, lightweight build and comfortable "C" shaped neck, you can play completely seamlessly and never experience any of that dreaded shoulder strain.

The 2-point tremolo bridge allows for deliciously smooth vibrato, so you can pitch bend with pure ferocity or just add a gentle warble to your chords. The choice is all yours. Sealed die-cast tuners then ensure you'll always have accurate tuning. Powerful, versatile Squier ceramic humbuckers lend themselves to pretty much any style of playing; you can sculpt the exact sound you want via the 3-way pickup switch and volume and tone controls.
