The Squier Affinity series is now made of Alder.
So any S/N indicating it was made in late 2009 is probably Alder however you'd have to get an exact date to be sure. BUT.

AFFINITY SERIES SQUIERS WITH S/N 10XXXXX IS MADE OF ALDER!

hmm. now i might have to buy an affinity and see if i can trade necks with a bullet owner. i wanna see if the alder hype is true or not.

Actually they have been made of alder for awhile. You can also find full sized bodies sometimes in the older models. Not postive what years though. Both my Jimi and SRV tributes are affinities made of alder.

I have a few affinity bodies and they are all alder. They are a bit older though from 99 to 2002. The earliest one had a ply front and back and was a bit thicker. The s/b ones are the best as you can see exactly what you are getting.

they've mostly been agathis out of the factory...
i don't know when they switched officially but the website HAS changed over the past 3 months. pictures have been updated and models and series revised.

I bought an Affinity a couple of months ago for a project and it has an alder body. Very solid.
