Not really funny when someone, especially a new member is trying to identify something.
Sure, but - the OP (whom I heartily welcome to the forum) - is studying this guitar very closely, to the point of noticing that the "q" in the logo seems off - yet he keeps writing "Squire". It's just kind of comical, and nothing wrong with pointing it out with some gentle ribbing.
I suspect this happens a lot due to autocorrect on certain devices, and people just fail to catch it. But I will admit that when I see someone write "Squire" over and over, I have to wonder why they don't just make the minimal effort to get it right. It's like writing "Fendre" repeatedly, as if that were the actual brand name.

Good point and well said. My concern was new members aren’t used to the humour here and catching the subtlety of the post would be easily missed when reading each post and trying to figure out what’s what.

the important question is which Peavey amp and what is the cost ?
Oh crap, I did it myself !!! I'll blame autocorrect, even tho this was posted off my laptop
This is a much better design than the Affinity of a decade ago. Split shaft tuners, 2 point trem. I see why they raised the price when these changes came out. And that's a good looking case.
I do see that the neck needs a tweak, the high e gets closer to the edge as you go up the fretboard. That's an easy adjustment.

I agree. Why fake a cheap guitar? No money to be made there.
Well it depends...
Buy this:
Slap a Squier sticker on it and go fish !!!
If you put a Squier sticker, resell it for 200$, you double your money... and it will likely attract less knowledgeable buyers, looking for a low costs instrument...

True and a good point as well.

OP has missed several hints, plus it's written right there on the headstock, yet he keeps writing "Squire."
Dude, it's Squier.

Yep, it really annoys me - like writing Gibsno repeatedly.

My original Japanese 57 Reissue JV Squier is worth £1500+ at the moment. And it's still the best Strat I ever owned. Probably owned 30 or so over the years and I have 12 others at the moment including Custom Shop, USA, Mexican and other Japanese models

I think the angle in pics can make things look wonky that ain't. My experience with the Affinity Strat is old, from at least a dozen years ago --the body was too thin, the nut too narrow for my liking. But I have read that they are much netter now.
I tend to follow my gut instinct. If you're questioning it this hard, something about it is giving you bad vibes. Affinities are abundant -- maybe wait around for the right one at the right price.
