Hss Stratocaster Appraisal

Squier by Fender Affinity Series Stratocaster HSS - Brown Sunburst

This is a solid-body electric guitar, specifically a Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster in a classic Brown Sunburst finish. This model features a contoured poplar or alder body with a high-gloss polyurethane finish, showing the transition from a dark perimeter to a golden honey-colored center grain. It is equipped with an HSS (Humbucker-Single-Single) pickup configuration, consisting of a humbucking bridge pickup and two ceramic single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions, all mounted on a multi-ply black pickguard. The guitar features a maple neck with a 21-fret maple fingerboard and black dot inlays. Hardware includes a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge and chrome-finished components, including the output jack plate located on the lower face. The item appears to be in near-mint, possibly new condition, as evidenced by the presence of original factory hang tags, the protective plastic film still on the pickguard, and the red Fender Play promotional sticker. There are no visible signs of wear, scratches, or dings on the finish. This modern production instrument represents a high-value entry-level series from the Fender family, known for its comfortable 'C' shaped neck profile and versatile tonal options provided by the 5-way selector switch.
