Someone going to pay over the odds for a Squier affinity strat with a few additions to dress it up to look like a Fender

Colouring in the hole for the truss rod adjuster with a sharpie to make it look like there's a dark fillet there is a nice touch.

Currently £280 so it could be much worse..

The ubiquitous scammers' "I don't know..."

Please note. I do not know where this guitar was manufactured. Probably far east, the favourite being Korea.

I think it's a disgrace that Fender don't brand their items - a removable decal on the headstock isn't enough.

Finished at £340 - that's ridiculous

Don't know my low-end Squiers well enough to be sure but would any Fender/Squier with a maple board be glued-on, rather than have a one-piece neck with skunk stripe? Tuners look too nice for an Affinity-level Squier.

Looks like a half-decent bitsa with a sticker to me. About £150's worth.

I'm sure the Fender tuners have been added.

There is no serial number anywhere and any marks on the back of the headstock have been removed. I'm in no doubt that this is a torino red Squier affinity with a few upgrades.

This black affinity strat also has an applied maple fingerboard with no skunk stripe: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squier-Affinity-Strat-Black-with-Maple-Neck-2020-ideal-for-beginners/303913067265
