They generally are of lower grade in the electronics department and the bodies are thinner. But, the clear finish Affinities are usually made of alder wood so they have that going for them and the necks often feel quite good. Some folks like Duff have hot roded them and have a fine guitar to play. I personally don't like the flexiness of the neck/body joint due to the body thickness being less than standard models. They can still be a good bang for the buck but you should try before you buy because they often need some work before they are ready to do the job.
