Fender announces 10 new and refreshed affordable Squier Affinity Series guitar and bass models | MusicRadar

Whether you're looking for a beginner guitar (opens in new tab) , a back-up model or a platform for modelling, the Fender Squier Affinity series offers some great options – and the new 2021 refresh additions have really raised the bar with Tele, Strat, Jaguar and bass guitar (opens in new tab) options aplenty. New electric guitar (opens in new tab) model additions for this year are Strat HH, Jazzmaster and Tele Deluxe models.

We'd already spotted the new Jazzmaster models (opens in new tab) in lovely finishes last week, but it seems them were the tip of a very cool iceberg.

Keeping with the cold theme, the addition of Charcoal Frost Metallic as a finish option on several models has especially caught our eye – not only does it look great but it's been very rarely seen outside of Fender Custom Shop models until now.

Let's take a look at all 10 models with finish options…

The new models will be showing up with dealers imminently but you can also keep an eye out on the Fender store (opens in new tab) .
