The Squier Mini Strat solidbody electric guitar makes a great instrument for beginners, younger players, and travelers. This 3/4-size instrument might be cute, but it’s also capable of becoming a tone monster when you plug it in. Like its big brother, the Squier Bullet, the Mini Strat uses three single-coil pickups, volume and tone controls, and 5-way pickup switching to give you an array of great sounds. It also includes a comfortable maple neck, an Indian laurel fingerboard, and a chrome-plated hardtail bridge. It’s perfect for smaller hands and sized just right for taking on the road.
CONVENIENTLY COMPACT
Whether you’re a parent who’s outfitting your budding rock star with a first electric guitar or a seasoned player looking for a travel-ready Stratocaster, the Squier Mini Strat is a fantastic 6-string option. The guitar’s 22.75″ scale length makes finger stretches much easier. Little hands will love the slimmer neck profile. And the Mini Strat’s body is about 3/4 the size of a full-size Stratocaster, making it comfortable and easy to fit into overhead airplane compartments.
BIG STRAT TONE
Like its bigger cousins, the Squier Mini Strat is loaded with the bell-like tones of three single-coil pickups. This electronics arrangement offers some of the most popular and iconic guitar tones in history. Combined with a 5-way pickup selector, a single volume control, and one tone knob, you’ll be nailing the familiar tones of legendary Strat players, such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Ritchie Blackmore.
A STRATOCASTER IN EVERY WAY
All the refined details that have made the Stratocaster one of the most legendary instruments in history can be found on your new Mini Strat. The comfortable and familiar forearm and body contours make playing the guitar a joy, and your instrument will ring true, thanks to an Indian laurel-capped genuine maple neck. The 6-saddle hardtail bridge allows for fantastic intonation up and down the guitar’s neck. And you’ll love the striking image cut by the Squier Mini Strat’s large ’60s-style headstock.
