I should clarify, the Affinity had a thin satin finish on the neck, the neck was a modern medium C shape, not especially thin.

I follow.
A bloke I know feels like he got the meh end of the stick (sorta) with his affinity. Not sure why.

Unfortunately since it's a budget model who knows what factory it's made from and I imagine the range of quality will vary. I feel lucky to have found a good one.Single coil wrote:I follow.

Another consideration is that price and the target market effect perception. Tests show you can present fine champagne in tastings as a budget product as people will rate it as such, people presented with budget sparkling wine but told it is premium champagne enjoy it more.Terexgeek wrote:Unfortunately since it's a budget model who knows what factory it's made from and I imagine the range of quality will vary.

My mexi the finish and fit was great, pickups and setup were crap, fixed both of those and now it's a keeper!

Present any sparkling in a tasting to me, with my refined palate, and best I can do is “sweet, free piss!”Terexgeek wrote:Another consideration is that price and the target market effect perception.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Is the quality control on the CV squiers more consistent than the affinity's? I would have assumed not, but those CV's do seem to get overwhelmingly positive feedback.
I'm actually eyeing up this https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listin ... 1490559338 . I kinda hate the sunburst but it seems hard to go wrong with $600 case included. Even if I kept the case and replaced the tele it would probably pay off...

Re: What are you gassing for?
Those CV Customs are very nice! It actually has a better body wood too I think. The regular CV is pine. While it doesn't make much of a different to my paper ears pine is softer wood. Mine dents relatively easily, and I consider myself quite gentle on guitars. No idea about SD rails though.mule wrote:Is the quality control on the CV squiers more consistent than the affinity's?
