Fender Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster MN WPG Olympic White Elektrisk guitar

Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster — Your Gateway to Iconic Fender Tone

Bringing the legendary double-cutaway design and three-single-coil voicing to those at the start of their musical journey, the Fender Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster MN WPG Olympic White captures the essential character that has defined the instrument since the 1950s. This model, crafted in Indonesia with a poplar body and polished finish, pairs a satin-finished maple neck with a 2-point tremolo bridge — a package that outperforms its price class.

Upgrade-Ready Platform with Modern Hardware

What stands out is the full compatibility with Fender Player Series components. The pickguard routing matches American-spec dimensions, so loaded pickguards with premium pickups swap in without modification. Instead of the vintage six-screw design, a 2-point Fulcrum tremolo reduces friction at contact points and keeps tuning stable under whammy bar use.

Lightweight Poplar Body and Fast Maple Neck

Because Stratocaster players spend hours with their instrument, body weight and neck feel truly matter. The thin poplar body sits comfortably against your ribs, while the bolt-on maple neck, shaped to a slim C profile, glides smoothly in hand.

• Body Material: Poplar — balanced tonewood that lets the pickups define the character without unwanted coloration
• Scale Length: 648 mm — standard Fender scale for familiar string tension and bright attack
• Position shifts feel seamless thanks to the slim C-shaped maple neck with a satin finish.

SSS Pickup Configuration for Classic Strat Tones

Three ceramic single-coil pickups wired through a 5-way selector cover the full spectrum — glassy bell-like chime from the neck position, twangy bite from the bridge. Two individual tone controls shape the neck and middle pickups independently while the master volume handles overall output.

• Pickups: SSS — three ceramic single-coils
• Controls: Master volume, neck tone, middle tone
• Switch: 5-way blade selector

Comfortable Fretboard for Chords and Lead Work

A 241 mm fingerboard radius balances chord comfort with bending ease, while 21 medium-jumbo frets provide enough height for clean vibrato without feeling oversized under the fingers.

• Fingerboard Radius: 241 mm — versatile curvature suitable for rhythm and lead playing
• Frets: 21 medium-jumbo
• The synthetic bone nut helps deliver consistent tuning stability and reduces string binding.

Ideal for Beginners, Modders, and Backup Needs

This instrument is the right choice for new players who want a genuine Stratocaster experience without investing in a professional-grade guitar. More experienced guitarists can take advantage of the mod-friendly platform — upgrading pickups or electronics can transform it far beyond its original price. Music teachers recommending a first electric will appreciate the familiar Fender layout and solid construction. On stage, the guitar works well as a practical backup for gigging musicians who need a reliable workhorse.
