Fender-Squier Affinity Strat (SSS) or Fender-Squier Affinity Strat (HSS)?
Should I buy this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Affinity-Special-Strat-and-Frontman-15G-Amp-Value-Pack-104487442-i1175988.gc#read-reviews or should I cough up $50 more for this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Affinity-Strat-HSS-and-Bullet-150-DSP-Amp-Value-Pack-512576-i1174771.gc ?
Basically, is there any big difference between the SSS and HSS besides different pickups? It’ll be my first guitar and I mainly want to play alternative rock.
The difference is the pickups, period.
The humbucker will make for tone with less noise, as well as being (arguably) better-suited to distorted tones.
Go with the HSS… it will be more versatile, tone-wise.
