Squier Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe Electric Guitar in Olympic White

The Squier Affinity Series Starcaster Deluxe is an electric guitar that reinterprets the distinctive offset semi-hollow body design originally introduced by Fender in the 1970s. This model combines the acoustic-like resonance of a hollow body with the feedback reduction of a solid electric guitar, thanks to its laminated maple construction with a solid centre block. The Olympic White finish with gloss polyurethane coating gives it a clean, classic appearance, while the Stratocaster-styled headstock adds a familiar touch to its otherwise unconventional aesthetic. The guitar features a comfortable C-shaped maple neck with a satin urethane finish, paired with an Indian laurel fingerboard featuring 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays. The 25.5-inch scale length and 1.65-inch nut width provide a playing feel familiar to Stratocaster players. Electronics include two ceramic humbucking pickups with chrome covers, voiced by Fender to deliver harmonically rich, full tones suitable for various musical genres. Controls consist of a master volume, master tone, and a 3-way toggle switch for pickup selection. Hardware includes an adjustable bridge with stopbar tailpiece for solid tuning stability and sealed die-cast tuners with split shafts for smooth, accurate tuning and easy restringing. The guitar comes strung with 9-42 gauge strings. This model is particularly well-suited for players seeking a versatile instrument with distinctive visual appeal and tonal character that bridges the gap between traditional solid-body and hollow-body electric guitars. Its balanced design makes it appropriate for both beginners and experienced players looking for an affordable yet capable semi-hollow option.
