General

Both hardened stage veterans and starting guitarists will definitely be able to enjoy this amazing Squier Stratocaster. Novice players will be chuffed to bits with the slender neck. This guitar's three alnico pickups produce more than enough output for a proper stage performance. Thanks to the 5-way pickup switch you can choose from a wide range of sounds, from the warmth of the neck pickup to the bright bite of the bridge pickup. Naturally, this Squier features the out-of-phase position that gives you the familiar nasal Start quack.

Construction:

To keep the price of this Squier Standard Stratocaster at a reasonable level, its body is made of agathis, which is in copious supply in Asia. Agathis' tonal properties are comparable to those of mahogany, so the skimping isn't a quality issue. What's more, this instrument is equipped with an incredibly stable floating tremolo vibrato unit. Additionally, the maple neck features a 22-fret maple fretboard that gives this guitar a beautifully bright sound.

Full-size Body & Strat Sounds

Both the specs and the sound of this Squier Standard Stratocaster are nothing short of impressive, especially considering its low price. All of the tonal options that ensured the Fender Stratocaster's immense popularity have found their way to this Squier. The dimensions of this instrument's body are the same of those of a Standard American Fender Stratocaster, making it the perfect subject for aftermarket upgrades. Virtually all upgrades for a standard Fender Strat are also applicable to this Squier guitar. Whether you are a novice or an advanced player, you can't go wrong with this Squier Standard Stratocaster if you're looking for an affordable Stratocaster.
