Fender Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster MN 2-Color Sunburst

Very pleasantly surprised overall by quality compared to price. I bought this with a view to upgrading parts and doing some work on it to improve it generally, but out of the box I am really surprised by how good it is. Everyone says "change the pickups" "file the frets" etc... Only problem I had was a non-functioning tone knob for the neck pickup that Muziker were easy to work with about but I told them I'd keep it as it is because I'd be changing to another kind of pot anyway to "Gilmour" mod it so it was silly to send it backwards and forwards. Apart from that, the setup was good, even considering it had been transported in the coldest week of the winter for four days. All it needed was a bit of lemon oil on the fretboard to smoothen some of the scraping when bending strings. Absolute bargain. Also the specs have been changed a little since the photograph. There is now only one string tree (good thing) and the label says "Stratocaster" instead of Strat - also a visual upgrade in my opinion. The body is still the slightly narrower Affinity type that means you can't just put any new tremelo block on it - but I was expecting that.
