1997 Squier Affinity Stratocaster by Fender – China – YN7 – Black/White – Rosewood – 22-Fret – All Original – Never Played

Beautiful early Chinese-made Squier Affinity Stratocaster in classic black with white pickguard and rosewood fingerboard.

I have owned this guitar since it was purchased new in the late 1990s. The guitar has never been played and remains completely original, with no modifications or replaced components.

Cosmetic condition: Very good - never played. The guitar has a few small chips in the finish/enamel and a couple of minor scuffs, most of which are located along the lower portion of the body. These imperfections are relatively minor, and photographs are included showing the affected areas.

The YN745391 serial number places this guitar in the early Chinese-made Affinity period; YN7 serials are associated with 1997 production.

This guitar has remained in its original configuration since it was purchased new and has never been used as a working or gigging instrument.

$299 OBO.

Local pickup in the Portland area only — no shipping. For safety, pickup will take place at a mutually agreed-upon public location; I do not offer pickup at my home. All payment and pickup arrangements will be handled through Reverb.

No original case, gig bag, box, or paperwork is included. The original strap is included (very good condition with one small white scuff - see photo).

Photography note: The guitar's glossy black finish is highly reflective. Some lighter areas, lines, or apparent marks visible in the photographs are reflections of the surrounding room and lighting rather than scratches, scuffs, or other damage. Any actual finish imperfections are specifically disclosed in the description and/or shown in close-up photographs. Please see the close-up photos for the small finish chips and scuffs described above.
