General

Do you want to get started with your guitar playing career and would you like to do that with a fiery red Stratocaster? Then this Squier starter pack might be just the thing for you. It contains an Affinity Stratocaster HSS, a compact Fender Champion 20 guitar amp, an instruction DVD and other accessories such as guitar picks, and a carrying strap. With just one purchase, you'll have everything you need to learn to play your favourite riffs, chords and solo parts.
Fat sounds of the Squier Affinity Strat HSS
HSS stands for a pickup configuration with one humbucker and two single-coil pickups. The single coils of the Squier Affinity Strat HSS provides those famous sparkly Fender sounds, while the bridge humbucker is more suited for rougher music styles, and provides a higher output and a warmer, fatter tone. This combination of pickups makes the guitar highly versatile. Its body is made of solid agathis for an extra full sound and the comfortably narrow neck features 21 medium jumbo frets, and has a large seventies-style headstock.
Fender Champion 20 guitar amp
The compact Champion 20 doesn't only offer gain and tone control, but also an Amp Voice knob. This allows you to choose between the amplified character of an overdriven tube top, or a warm jazz sound. As a result, you'll have unlimited access to different guitar sounds, which is great for rehearsals. You even get a 3.5mm aux input plus headphone output, so you can practise in silence and play along with your favourite tracks.

Wrote the following about Squier Affinity Strat HSS Fender Champion 20 Candy Apple Red

Ik heb deze gitaar voor mijn 8 jarige zoon gekocht om na de akoestische gitaar ook electrisch te spelen. De gitaar kwam goed verpakt aan. Na aansluiten en stemmen (met het bijgeleverde stem apparaat) kon hij aan de slag. Nou ja. Plastic moest nog van de pick guard gehaald worden. Dat is best lastig want die plastic zit ook onder de knoppen. Je hebt dus eigenlijk gelijk al krassen op de pick guard. Jammer maar niet de schuld van Bax. Ook zat er een klein krasje op de rode lak net naast het zwarte deel. Niet erg hoor. Kan je verwachten voor een gitaar van deze prijsklasse. Als je perfectie wil koop dan niet in de squier serie. Gitaar is geproduceerd in Indonesië overigens.

Versterker is een leuk ding. Hard genoeg om thuis mee te spelen (volume niet verder dan standje 3 gezet is hard genoeg. Hij kan tot 10). Effecten zijn mooi.

Tas is dun. Beschermd wel maar als je regelmatig weg gaat zou ik een beter kopen met.

Mijn zoon is tevreden en ik ga ook een beetje spelen :)

Werkelijk uitstekende service van bax,en een snelle levering en alles erg goed verpakt zodat er geen schade aan de producten ontstaat,een fijne gitaar om op te spelen en de versterker alhoewel niet duur klinkt als uit een hogere prijsklasse dus een goed pakket om mee te beginnen,chapeau.
