Features: The Affinity Fat Strat is the humbucking pickup loaded brother of the Affinity Strat offering all the same qualities as its kin with the addition of a meaty-sounding humbucking pickup. It features one humbucking and two single-coil pickups, a standard tremolo and 5-way switching for those great in-between tones. The Tele features two single-coil pickups and 3-way switching. Same specs as the Affinity Strat, but with a humbucking pickup in the bridge position for that extra punch. // 10

With 2 single-coil pickups and a humbucker, and a 5-way selector, this guitar can change style halfway through a song if you want it to! Bright sound on high tone setting, fuller sound on low tone or humbucker setting. Sounds brilliant in overdrive! Action, Fit & Finish: Good action, and pickups etc etc.

Reliability & Durability:

Impression: I'll play anything blues/jazz/classic rock - orientated, and this guitar suits it all. Features: Your basic Strat: 21 frets, lovely thin neck with rosewood fingerboard. Pickups: one amazingly sweet sounding Strat neck singlecoil, one bright mid singlecoil and a choppy humbucker at the bridge. I love the feel of this guitar, great for doing bluesy feely stuff on it.

Sound: This suits my music style perfectly. Not very noisy, but I've played a Vintage V100 Les Paul which was a lot quieter.

Action, Fit & Finish: I've lowered the action just for convenience's sake, really, but otherwise no probs apart from that mid pickup.

Reliability & Durability: Very solid guitar. The finish is great, really hard to scratch.

Impression: I play electric blues, some jazz, a lot of rock and a healthy dose of metal, and this guitar takes it all. The addition of the humbucker is great. This guitar has the traditional start body with volume, tone and a five way selector. The great part about this guitar is the humbucker on the bridge section. Sound: I mainly play a lot of rock, mainly punk though. This guitar was great for a nice kicking rock sound when playing some old Green Day songs. Action, Fit & Finish: This guitar I've notice does have a few flaws. Also I personally don't like the wood of this guitar, I perfer a maple wood instead, also, on the back of the guitar, it's maple wood but there's no glossy surface over it so it's stained all over! I also find with the Strat design, when I'm playing, I hit the volume knob so I constantly loose sound when palm muting, very annoying.

Reliability & Durability: I think this guitar would survive live playing, my strap gets loose sometimes so I might want to have an extra somewhere. But I have to admit, after dropping this guitar, banging it against walls, you name it, it's survived pretty well. So this guitar is pretty durable.

I really like the durability and the added humbucker on this guitar, but I really hate the wood on this guitar. Since this is my first guitar, I have to say it's pretty nice but not the best best.

21 medium jumbo frets, c-shape maple neck, rosewood fretboard, solid alder body, looks like any other Strat at a glance. It has a humbucker in the bridge and two single coils in the neck and middle positions, with a 5-way pickup selector, one volume knob, and two tone knobs. The humbucker is better for blues and classic rock. This guitar is still not comparable to any Fender Strat. The guitar I bought came with a Fender Frontman 15G, which is really quite bad, but probably good for beginners. Sound: Very versatile, I play mainly classic rock and blues, with some alternative stuff too. On a Behringer V-AMPIRE LX210, it still sounds rather weak and dull compared to nicer guitars. Compared to my friend's regular Affinity Strat, which has a single coil in the bridge, the humbucker is louder, hotter, and can be more distorted. If you just ask your local guitar shop to prep it, it should be fine.

Reliability & Durability: The guitar does actually seem pretty durable, I don't know if I would gig it though. It definitely works well as a backup. The hardware is kind of low quality, but I plan to replace almost everything (pickups, tuners, pickguard, nut, bridge) and this guitar definitely is good for customization.

Impression: This is the perfect beginner's guitar. I'm glad I got the Fat Strat as opposed the the regular Strat, the humbucker is a big improvement. If it were stolen, I'd be sad that I lost my first electric guitar, but I would probably just save up for a nicer backup, like a Standard MIM Strat or Telecaster or something like that.
