General

The Mini Strat V2 by Squier is the latest version of their extremely popular compact Stratocaster model. It's perfect for beginners, younger players or those looking for a handy travel-sized instrument. It features a number of upgrades including improved machine heads for greater tuning stability, a jack output that can now be found on the side of the body to keep the guitar cable out of your way and smaller strap buttons that make it easier to attach a guitar strap. Read on to find out more about what else Squier has done to improve the Mini Bullit Stratocaster.

Mini Strat V2: comfortable to play

In order to make the shorter scale length C profile bolt-on maple neck even easier to play, Squire have made it thinner than before. The solid basswood body is slimmer too, which makes it lighter and improves the playing comfort. Now that rosewood is becoming more difficult to get hold of, this Mini Strat has a fretboard made of laurel that is similar in terms of look and sound. The 9.5-inch fretboard radius offers the familiar feel of a Strat and is easier to play than a more rounded vintage fretboard.

More features

In addition to the sealed self-lubricating machine heads, this Mini Strat sports a fixed bridge that helps to improve the stability, tuning and sustain. With three single-coil pickups, a 5-way pickup switch and volume and tone controls, you'll have a broad range of classic Strat tones at your disposal. If you're looking for a compact electric guitar that's easy to play and offers the great sound of a Strat, the Squier Mini Strat V2 is a perfect choice.
