Advantages: Great neck. Real wood. It's a Fender! Disadvantages: Cheap pickups and machine heads.
The Squier Affinity Strat represents amazing value for money. For about a hundred quid you get a strat endorsed by Fender with a great neck.

This was my first guitar.
When I decided to learn to play the guitar, I asked my guitar teacher to tell me what equipment I should get, and he wrote down on a sheet of paper what I needed and told me to go to a specific music store in Denmark Street, off Tottenham Court Road, and give it to his friend there who would take care of it and give me a discount on everything.

The Squier instruments are mostly derived from Fender's own line.
