Maximum playability

Delightful playing experience. It's no use having a guitar that sounds brilliant but is too uncomfortable or clunky to play. That's why Squier have ensured their Standard Strat has a number of features to maximise the instrument's smooth playing action.

Make hand cramp a thing of the past with a "C"-shaped maple neck. This neck profile is the optimum shape for fitting in the palm of your frethand. Wherever you're playing along the Standard's scale, you'll experience total comfort and be able to hit every note with ease. The sleekness of the Indian laurel fretboard helps you to slide from the bottom end to the top at high-speed. Perfect for up-tempo solos and riffs. The Squier Strat provides you with an enjoyable playing experience from the instant you pick it up to the moment you put it down.

Experiment at will

A guitar that gives you massive choice over your sound. The Standard Strat already has the wide-reaching trio of single-coil pickups to ensure its sonic versatility, but if they weren't already enough, Squier have also included a synchronised tremolo bridge. You'll benefit from distinctive pitch bending in your guitar playing. This will be perfect for unleashing exhilarating solos that sound entirely original. Craft a completely unique sound.

Supremely stylish

A vintage aesthetic that looks magnificent. Squier have looked to classic Stratocaster models of old for inspiration in designing the Standard. The result is a completely beautiful guitar that looks undeniably cool. The cherry sunburst finish is exquisitely classy, and a parchment pickguard offsets the colour to create an attractive contrast. An extra sheen and shimmer is given to the guitar by chrome hardware and pearloid dots adorning the fretboard.
