Trust in the durability and unwavering quality of Squier SQR Alnico Single-Coil pickups. There are three of them so you can be sure to have exceptional sound, one that encompasses sparkling clarity and brilliant bite. Prepare for a powerful, articulate tone and deliver your best performance yet. Better still, Squier have employed a "special" configuration for this guitar, meaning the middle pickup sits closer to the bridge for a unique array of settings - all dynamic and all superbly responsive.
...make the neck of the Contemporary Stratocaster Special a truly premium feature. This tremendous tonewood has undergone a roasting process (also known as baking) to remove any moisture and impurities. The result? An exceptionally sturdy wood that begs your fierce playing. Typically seen on high end instruments, roasted maple is resilient to temperature changes, so you won't be greeted by drastically different tunings when you pick up your guitar. And its tonal capabilities are magical too. Experience wondrous clarity, incredible volume, and minimal feedback. The beautifully smooth satin finish and sculpted heel design then allow you to fret effortlessly - reach those top frets without anything slowing you down.
Complementing the roasted maple neck is a glorious fretboard crafted from Indian laurel. It is silky-smooth and lends itself to seamless fretting techniques, so you can play without anything slowing you down. With tonal properties similar to that of rosewood, laurel exudes gorgeous sonic resonance with a sparkling high end over the top, granting you a stunning, balanced sound. Better still, it has the ability to even out any harsh frequencies, so you won't be hindered by sharp, out-of-place notes. Whatever your style, play with confidence.
