Squier Affinity Stratocaster HSS Pack, Candy Apple Red - Nearly New

Full Description

Squier HSS Stratocaster Guitar

The maximum in playability

Learning an instrument can be a difficult process. If it's not going well, or your playing experience is too uncomfortable, then it can be easy to give up. That won't happen with the Squier Strat. It's packed with features to actively help you hone your skills and increase your ability.

Enjoy supreme comfort. The Strat's sleek, "C"-shaped maple neck sits comfortably in the palm of your hand. You'll be able to practice for hours and hours without cramp restraining you. Glide across the frets with a smooth-playing laurel fretboard. This wood is the perfect material to help you play with speed, accuracy, and dynamism.

Hit every note. A double-cutaway body shape gives you maximum access to every single fret. Guitars that don't have this feature can be clunky and complicated to play when you're trying to hit notes and chords at the top of the fretboard. Dual cutaways give your hand uninhibited access to the top of the scale, making it easier for you to play. It's all of this which makes the Squier Strat the right guitar to help you get comfortable with the entire fretboard.

Wide-reaching sound

Suitable for any style. The Squier Stratocaster's trio of pickups give you an electronic system that's capable of a gigantic variety of sounds. Two single-coil strat pickups give immense power and dynamism. They're perfect for rock 'n' roll, funk, blues, and more. You'll enjoy supreme clarity too. A humbucking pickup at the bridge position minimises noise interference and feedback. This will deliver sharpness and definition in every note that you play. That's why you can be certain that this guitar will be ideal for you, no matter your preferred genre.

Fender Frontman 15G Amplifier

Electrifying power

The ideal amp to experiment with electric sound in your guitar playing. The Fender Frontman lets you play with massive sound, boasting 15 watts of power. You can make sure everyone hears you. If you're not so keen on being heard, though, the Frontman will still work for you. A headphone jack means you can practice silently. Ideal for late night use (or when you don't want to irritate the neighbours).

You can also use the amp to refine your own, individual sound. It includes both clean and overdrive channels. These give you the choice to play with pure, jangly clarity, or menacing, rocky tones. Gain, Bass, Mid, and Treble controls give you further opportunity to tweak how you sound.

That's not all. This is a fantastic all-rounder of an amp. It has an aux input that allows you to plug in a device and play your favourite songs through the amplifier. So when you fancy being a rockstar, you can run your tunes through the Frontman and play along. Just don't get too lost in fantasising that you're Keith Richards.

Fender Play Teaching Software

Learn quickly and easily

The easiest, most hassle-free way of learning the guitar. The Squier Stratocaster Pack comes with a three-month subscription to Fender Play. This is a superb package of online software with everything you need to master the guitar.
