The history of Affinity Series

Legendary and accessible. Squier, in their initial form, were originally manufacturers of strings for guitars, banjos, and violins. Fender were impressed by the high quality of their strings, and acquired the company in 1965. However, after a decade, Fender started to manufacture and market strings under their own brand, and Squier became defunct.

In 1982, the Squier brand was reactivated as Squier by Fender and began to make more affordable versions of Fender's classic and legendary guitars. The Affinity Series has versions of Fender models ranging from the Jazz Bass, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, and Stratocaster. Each of the Affinity Series instruments strives to retain the classic, unbeatable quality of the originals at a price affordable to everyone. The perfect guitars for beginners and experts alike who don't want to break the bank for a fantastic instrument. Unrivalled quality at unbelievable prices.
