Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Black Burst, the Affinity Series Stratocaster FMT HSS combines a flame maple veneer top over a poplar double-cutaway body with a Slim C maple neck and maple fingerboard. The HSS pickup arrangement places a humbucker at the bridge alongside two single-coils, with five pickup selections available from the selector. A two-point tremolo adds vibrato control. For maintenance, the sealed split-shaft tuners accept string ends through the shaft before winding.
