A light, easy-playing Strat with a humbucker for bigger sounds – a great first electric guitar. The Squier Sonic Stratocaster HSS in 2-Color Sunburst gives you iconic Fender style and inspiring tone for players at any stage. It has a thin, lightweight poplar body, a slim “C”-shaped maple neck, and an HSS pickup set: a humbucker at the bridge for high-output tone plus two single-coils for clear, chiming sounds.
Why customers choose it
Who it is for
