Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT
(Sunset Metallic)
classic strat style
modern featuresSquier's Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT packs a host of modern features and bold aesthetics to an already iconic Fender platform to satisfy today’s most discerning and daring players.
At the heart of this guitar is a set of Squier SQR alnico single-coil pickups positioned in a “special” configuration with the middle pickup near the bridge pickup for a unique variety of dynamically responsive settings.
The roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability, and a sculpted heel design allows for improved access all the way to the 22nd fret. High-performance components round out the feature list and include a string-through-body hardtail bridge for ideal body resonance, and a set of sealed-gear tuning machines with split shafts for smooth tuning action and easy restringing.
Eye-catching styling cues include stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos for a premium look.
