buddy... post some photos .... how much did you pay for it though.....

 

[subversion]

bitter experience with the Affinity, but maybe yours is good...

 

[fgl]

no photos... its mint..black body / rosewood fretboard - big headstock.

bad expirience wat way?

I pay cheap for it la...

 

[subversion]

weak neck, guitar doesn't hold tuning well- tuners partly to blame. keep in mind that mine wasn't the anniversary model...

 

[tsunami]

So this guitar is easily fall apart then since it has a weak neck... What about the SQUEIR Standard Series though? Is that good to have, bro Sub?

im not a fan of the affinity series to say the least, tried a few and most of them had uneven frets and yeah they dont hold tuning very well.

not that kinda weak- my Affinity's neck warped very easily. yes, i'd rather you invest in the Standard series for better playability & tone. i've played several satin-finished ones & they are simply good guitars. this is one of them:

 

[tsunami]

Whoa.. this Standard Series look awesome... how much is this?
Would you write a review on this, please.....

 

[subversion]

if memory serves me right, it's $640 list. i doubt if there are any more left though... 8)

 

[tsunami]

Whoa.. $$$640... Would rather look for an Ibanez SA260.. put in may be one to two hundred more....

 

[fgl]

had one deluxe series B4...ok only lah...

bot this one at $150 2nd hand as a back up guit... 8)

 

[turtlemuscle]

IMO, stay away from SQUEIR. unless it's the vintage version.

but fgl, you buy so cheap, no problem la. regardless how the guitar turns out, it's really a steal at that price man!

 

[fgl]

Yep...bot it basically to chop & change & experiment .... and toss around during the wilder gigs...cant do that to my other guits... 8)

 

[neuro182]

Hmm

fgl + any guitars = GOOD SHOWSMANSHIP!!

I tink most of your guitars wld love to stay by u forever since u make them look good on stage!!

Sorry to hijack the thread. I too recently got a 2nd Hand Squier. Mine was the Stagemaster 7. I fixed the humming problem and then polished and give it a good setup. Now it sings beautifully.. Never tried the other squier series though, but after playing the squier 7, i think squier guitars arent that bad are they?

Bro sub, u tried the Stagemaster 7 before? Any reviews?

Thanks people

 

[subversion]

yes i did. tried it when it first debut here, then swee lee was still located at the extended Art Friend shop space... 8)

i tried the whammy version, the guitar was an average performer basically because of the pickups in there. unplugged, i sounds rather bright & promising but the default humbuckers made it quite ill-defined, especially in the neck.

 

[bin4christ]

isnt affinity series the smaller ones?or the mini 1s?

 

[fgl]

Affinity series is similar to the standard series in many ways except the body is slimmer from fron to back) - body made of agathis, 21 frets instead of 22 ....have souped up mine with 3 dImarzios and the throwing around / trashing of the squier will commence soon... :lol:

 

[bin4christ]

oh...will agathis body reult in difference in sound?
how much wud it be if it's new?
