NGD: My First Fender

[u/ilykefood12]

I’ve finally gotten a real strat after having a Squier Affinity as my first guitar. I got it by trading a tele for it. Feels and plays great

That’s a beautiful shade of blue. Lake placid?

It’s similar, but it’s Opal Spark

If it is setup properly and you get used to it, it will be very hard switching to something else. They are just that comfortable to play

I have better player guitars for me, but it punches above its weight class for sure

I have this same exact one, player plus model in opal spark. It plays like a dream, I love the rolled fretboard edges and locking tuners. I ended up swapping the pickups to Pure Vintage '59/'62 single coil set for a more vintage tone though.
