It's made of poplar, a balanced tonewood that allows the pickups to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eEasy-to-Play Neck\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Affinity Stratocaster has a maple neck with thin C profile. It's a comfortable fit for the fingers, making it easier to form chords and solo with single notes. The maple fretboard adds extra snap to eat note. Check out that headstock logo, too—the chunky block text is straight from the ’70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClassic Single-Coil Pickups\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Squier Strat is loaded with three single-coil pickups, a classic Stratocaster configuration. Each has a clear, cutting tone that stands out. Ride the bridge pickup for a twangier sound, or employ the neck single coil for fluid and smooth rhythms and leads. The middle pickup fattens the sound when used in combination with either.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUpdated, Fail-Safe Hardware\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Strat has updated hardware that makes it easier for beginners to play. The tremolo unit mounts to the body in two points, rather than the traditional six. This creates less friction for more tuning stability. Thanks to their split-shaft design, it's a cinch to change strings—just thread each through the body of the guitar, insert the loose end into the tuners and turn to tighten. Unlike other guitars, this design eliminates sharp string ends that can poke fingers and damage gig bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCases are available separately. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder today\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThin and lightweight body\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThree Squier single-coil pickups\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e2-point tremolo bridge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSlim and comfortable C neck profile\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eBody Type: Double-cutaway solidbody\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck shape: Slim C\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJoint: Bolt-on\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eScale length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTruss rod: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaterial: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFret size: Medium-jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of frets: 21\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInlays: Dot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eConfiguration: SSS\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeck: Proprietary Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMiddle: Proprietary Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge: Proprietary Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl layout: Master volume, Individual tone, Individual tone\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePickup switch: 5-Way\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge type: Tremolo\/Vibrato\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBridge design: 2-point Fulcrum tremolo\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTuning machines: Sealed Die-cast\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColour: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eNumber of strings: 6 String\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right-Handed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/link.livewiremusicnow.com\/warranties\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee our Warranty Information here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Squier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44922901594248,"sku":"LWM-02488","price":641.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/2009\/7160\/files\/5150034081.webp?v=1774415217","url":"https:\/\/livewire-music-2.myshopify.com\/products\/squier-affinity-series-stratocaster-maple-fingerboard-electric-guitar-lake-placid-blue","provider":"LiveWire Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
