Fender Squier Affinity Stratocaster HSS - Lake Placid Blue Bundle with Frontman 10G Amplifier, Instrument Cable, Gig Bag, Tuner, Strap, Picks, and Austin Bazaar Instructional DVD

I like the color and the sort of tiger's eye look to it, though this individual one isn't as tiger's eyed on the back, just the front and top of the back. I sort of wanted to buy one through another music place so I could be picky about it, but this was less money with more goodies. I got a heavier one, which makes me happy, it weighs in at about 7 1/2 pounds, while some of the ones I saw were only about 6 pounds. It does have a color mark on the front finish, not a defect, it's part of the wood grain, but it would have made me choose a different one. I only made minor adjustments to the bridge and pickup heights, which didn't need to be made, it sounded great right out of the box even with it's original strings. It holds its tuning well, and the tuner it came with is easy to use. The strap is good enough for me. It came with 3 picks, but I bought a mustang amp thing from Austin Bazaar, too, and that came with a big pile o' picks. The disc wasn't really useful to me, but I watched it all the way through, just in case. I read and watched many reviews before my purchase and I am thrilled. I'm not so happy with the delivery company, which took 13 days even though I bought it with prime. It was not Austin Bazaar's fault, though, they are great. And the product is great. Excellent sustain on this thing. Oh, the humbucker wasn't installed perfectly straight, the brown stripe of wood on the back of the neck isn't flush, you can feel it, and the tremolo bar is wobbly until you modify it with a piece of thread or something, but it's no deal-breaker. The neck is straight, the satin finish feels lovely, the action's good, and the frets don't buzz. I might never need the gig bag, but it does fit in there, a bit snug perhaps, but it closes. It's an excellent package deal, great quality for the price.

This guitar looks and sounds great! It comes with everything we need. My son went from an acoustic to this electric and loves it!

I bought this set for my daughter for Christmas and it came super well packed. I was very impressed with the time that went into packaging each item and was worried about what condition it might be in when we got it but it was perfect. Customer service reached out a few times before Christmas to make sure I received everything and it was in new condition and working order. I told them we had opened it to check and make sure everything was there but we wouldn't know until Christmas if there was anything really wrong with it. My daughter was super thrilled with her gift, it made her Christmas and she has been playing it everyday. I love that everything she needs is in the set and the little amp is perfect for her and she can hook her headphones up so she's not disturbing the rest of the house when she's playing odd hours. Would highly recommend this product and the company.

Beautiful instrument. Well made. Price is very reasonable for the quality. I’m quite pleased with my purchase. I can’t really speak to the sound as the amplifier was omitted from my order, but I am assured by the vendor that it on it’s way. I will update this review soon. OK. Update: I received my amp as promised and in a timely manner. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of such a small amp. It's perfect for at-home practice. I'm happy.

I'm so happy with this product, I got everything I needed to get started and the condition was perfect! I haven't put it down unless I absolutely had to, I highly recommend it.

My son was tired of trying to play my SG which I'd modified for left-hand. He decided he wanted a Strat and after delaying for way too long, I did the research and saw this particular model, the Fender Squire Stratocaster with a twin (humbucker style) and 2 single coil pick-ups was rated as one of the best deals on a Strat available. This model is white with the speckled black guard but it is otherwise identical to the sunburst maple model so highly reviewed in British and American guitar media. I was always worried I was shorting my son if I didn't get one of the higher grade Fenders but this guitar has a great build, great sound and with the different types of pick-ups one it, is extremely versatile, allowing my son to play super clean with the single coils or with the warmer/fuzzier SG-like sound with the double coil. The tremelo bar is easily unscrewed and he can add it back or remove it as desired, in seconds and without tools.

Received my guitar 3 days early was so excited to see it. Looks beautiful no cracks no dents not even a blemish on the paint excellent quality. Plays and looks beautiful. I bought this guitar for a project I am doing but not sure if I'm going to do it now because I was so impressed the way it came. I think I'm going to keep it the way it is and just buy another one to do the project with LOL. Maybe I'll go with the surf green one don't know yet. Only one problem that I saw but it is not a big deal. Totally different gig bag that's shown in the picture but definitely not a deal-breaker.

This is supposed to be a birthday present for my daughter and it came in scratch up pretty bad. Both of us were really let down 👎👎👎
