Squier Affinity Stratocaster Flame Maple Top HSS - Black Burst

The Squier Affinity Stratocaster Flame Maple Top HSS – Classic Strat Style with Modern Edge

Eye-catching flame maple top and stylish Black Burst finish

The Squier Affinity Stratocaster Flame Maple Top HSS in Black Burst blends classic Strat looks with bold visual flair. Its flame maple veneer adds dimension and character to the traditional double-cutaway body, while the Black Burst finish draws the eye without shouting. A gloss polyurethane topcoat completes the aesthetic with sleek shine and everyday durability. Whether you’re playing under stage lights or jamming at home, this Strat commands attention.

Lightweight body and smooth-playing maple neck

This model features a poplar body and a slim “C”-shaped maple that neck feels fast and familiar, ideal for players just starting out or anyone looking for an affordable workhorse. Finished in satin urethane on the back, it offers a broken-in feel that lets your hand glide freely during long sessions or fast-paced sets.

Versatile HSS pickup configuration with wide tonal range

With a ceramic humbucker at the bridge and two single-coils in the middle and neck positions, this Strat delivers a broad sonic palette. The humbucker packs extra punch for heavier rhythms and leads, while the single-coils retain that crisp Strat sparkle. 

Modern hardware designed for reliability and tuning stability

This Strat doesn’t just look sharp, it performs. The 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge with block saddles offers expressive pitch control. Sealed die-cast tuners with split shafts make string changes quick and clean, while the black control knobs and pickguard add a modern edge to this timeless design. 

Built to play and made to inspire

The Affinity Stratocaster Flame Maple Top HSS is built with the player in mind. Whether you’re chasing tones in your bedroom, recording your first demos, or hitting your local jam night, this guitar is ready to keep up. It’s an inspiring introduction to the Stratocaster legacy with a personality all its own.
