Squier by FENDER - Affinity Stratocaster Junior HSS LRL 3-Color Sunburst
A scaled-down electric guitar, the Squier By Fender Stratocaster Affinity Junior HSS LRL 3-Color Sunburst combines an iconic design with playability designed for younger players or those of lighter build. This shortened version of the iconic model features a smaller poplar body, a maple neck with a slim 'C' profile and a 610 mm scale. As for the electronics, the HSS configuration features a humbucker in the bridge and 2 single coils, for a sound palette that remains open. A two-point vibrato and oil-bath tuning machines complete the package, with a focus on comfort and precision. Are you curious? It's time to give it the jack.
Presentation
Under your fingers, the maple neck with its slim 'C' profile will welcome you with the same softness as an old favourite jumper. The Squier By Fender Affinity Stratocaster Junior HSS isn't about size, it's about ease. With its 20 medium jumbo frets, 9.5" radius and laurel fingerboard, it promises instant comfort, even for beginner fingers. Trust it to go the distance... without blisters.
When it comes to sound, the Stratocaster Junior HSS doesn't do things by halves. Between the clarity of the two single coils and the spunk of the humbucker in bridge position, this Squier By Fender can be sweet or muscular, depending on your mood. The 5-position selector leaves the field open to your every whim: from slamming funk to rock that squeaks a little. This is the kind of guitar that can adapt to your style... even if your style changes three times a week.
With its two-point vibrato bridge, this Squier Stratocaster Junior HSS allows for smooth modulations, without turning your bends into chaos. Add to that the oil-bath action, and you've got a stable tuning that's quick to do and easy to redo. It literally tunes itself to you. And that's pretty cool, isn't it?

To complete the package, consider a compact amp like the Fender Frontman 10G or a mini multi-effects unit like the Zoom G1. A set of spare .009-.042 strings and a locking strap will keep everything secure.
And if you're a frequent traveller, a padded case adapted to this reduced size will prevent your Strat from taking more bumps than an old flight-case.
