Squier by Fender Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS Electric Guitar, Ice Blue Metallic

Description

The Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS guitar provides an ideal introduction to Fender tone and style. This reduced-size Strat features a lightweight, comfortable body with a short 24" scale length ideal for players with smaller hands. The C-shaped maple neck has an Indian laurel fingerboard with medium-jumbo frets, resulting in a slick, low-action feel that facilitates chord changes and rapid solos.

Iconic Styling and Playability

This Strat embodies the classic curves and contours of Fender's most famous design. The double-cutaway poplar body provides comfort and access to the higher frets. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge offers subtle pitch manipulation. Sealed die-cast tuners keep the strings in tune through changes in environment or vigorous playing.

Genre-Defying Tonal Options

With a humbucking bridge pickup and two single-coil neck and middle pickups, this Strat delivers a versatile array of tones from crisp cleans to all-out distortion. Switch between pickups to find the perfect voice for anything from blues and classic rock to modern metal. Both pickups are designed by Squier, providing authentic Fender tone at an affordable price point.

Top-Notch Playability

Several refinements enhance this Strat's playability, letting you focus on your performance. A 2-point tremolo bridge offers a smooth, responsive feel for expressive pitch-bending effects. Sealed die-cast tuning machines provide accurate and stable tuning and their split shafts allow for quick string changes. The Indian laurel fingerboard's smooth feel and medium jumbo frets also facilitate fluid lead playing up and down the neck.

An Heirloom-Quality Instrument

While highly affordable, the Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS is built to last, with a durable poplar body and neck. Its smaller size makes it ideal for players of all ages and its timeless design means this could easily become an instrument that is passed down through generations.
