Hi guys, I have an Affinity MIC Tele and a ProTone MIK Strat.
The Affinity Tele is black with a white pickguard. I've changed the pots to 250k Ernie Balls, and I replaced the cap with a 0.02.(I found the old 500k pots had an abrupt taper to them).
I had a set of Fender 52ri pups in it, but have since put the original pups back in because I have bought a USA Custom body to use the Fender pups in now.
This little Affinity is a blast to play, the neck is fast and the frets are great, I didn't have to dress or level them, just play it straight as it came. The pickups are OK too, and I like the hum cancelling when both are on.

The ProTone Strat is a 3 colour sunburst over an ash 2 piece body with a MOT white guard.
I haven't changed anything on it, it's all stock, and sounds very nice. I did have to get it fret dressed and the nut re-cut, now it plays very nicely.
The only thing I'm not really overly excited about is the very thin neck. It is a rosewood board, and it's a nice piece of wood, just a little thinner than I usually play on, but so far I'm enjoying it. Frets are small vintage type.
I have considered changing necks, and going to a steel block in the bridge, but I guess after 3 years of owning it, if I haven't changed it yet it can't be that bad eh?
Hope this didn't bore you guys, I love to talk up Squiers when I can, they are a great buy IMO.
