Squier FSR Affinity Series Stratocaster QMT Crimson Red Transparent Electric Guitar

General

Next to the standard Affinity Series Stratocasters, Squier serve up the deluxe QMT edition, setting up beginner guitarists with an affordable electric guitar with a uniquely luxurious finish. The comfortable and lightweight poplar body has been topped with cloud-like quilted maple veneer which, combined with the four-ply pearloid pickguard completes a stunning, stage-ready look. But this model isn't all about the aesthetics, since the solid, bolt-on maple neck has been given a C-profile to support a snug feel whether grabbing chords or spinning licks. The balanced foundation sound of the poplar body is framed by the warm accent of a laurel fretboard which is then amplified with classic Strat-style punch and growl by a set of three ceramic single-coil pickups that can be varied at will via the fitted five-way selector switch, set of two tone pots and single volume pot. Keeping things classic, this six-string charmer has been loaded with a two-point tremolo bridge so you can inject some timeless whammy bar tricks into your playing, while a set of split-shaft machine heads ensure solid tuning.
