As far as I can make out the Affinity body is a bit thinner than 'Classic Vibe' but not by much.And affinity series Squiers (or certainly older ones) are allegedly built to similar specs as 'real' ones, unlike my 2021 Argos special hardtail which has a plywood body only about 2/3 normal thickness.
Body is real wood and is very light.
The neck is good and straight but the fretboard is very stained, I've tried cleaning it but still can't get it out. Any tips?
I've ordered a load of replacement bits from Gear4music, one of the few places that have reasonable shipping rates, on route via Nigeria at present. North West guitars have more but shipping is nearly double. I don't have to pay VAT though.
Did you know that Fender marketed the Starcaster strat under the Fender name to Supermarkets and Walmart type stores which is even cheaper than the Affinity and Bullet?
