Squier Mini Stratocaster Shell Pink Children's / Travel Electric Guitar

General

Squier offer young beginners aged 8 and up a solid and manageable introduction to the most recognisable Fender guitar in the universe. The Squier Mini Stratocaster may be a shrunken-down, fledgling-friendly version of the iconic Strat, but packs all the same sound and playability. Since this the second edition of the Mini, it also comes with a few little upgrades. The jack input has been moved to the side to make it a little easier to plug in a jack lead, while a set of more stable closed oil-bed machine heads have been fitted and the strap buttons are now little smaller.

The Mini Stratocaster: More-Than Manageable Playing Comfort

To further enhance the playability, the super-short-scale C-profiled bolt-on neck has is much slimmer, providing a more snug feel for smaller hands and the poplar body has also been shaved down, making it a lot thinner and bringing the overall weight down. Since rosewood is unfortunately more scarce than ever, the fretboard has been made from laurel wood, which has a striking, dark look and lends a nice touch of warmth to the sound while the standard 9.5" radius provides that tried-and-tested Stratocaster feel.

A Stable Foundation

The Squier Mini Strat has been mounted with a fixed hard-tail bridge, easing the learning process for players that are re-stringing their guitar for the first time while ensuring improved tuning stability and sustain. Besides that, an easy-going and easy to understand set of controls are fitted, and offer a selection of five different amplified tones shaped by three single-coil pickups. Whether you just prefer playing a smaller model, need a great little travel instrument, or your 8th birthday is fast approaching and you're already dreaming of weaving solid riffs and licks with your very own axe, then the Squier Mini Stratocaster V2 is made for you.
