Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT, Laurel Fingerboard, Pearl White Overview
The Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT is a modern twist on the classic Stratocaster, offering bold aesthetics and advanced features for today’s players. Its standout design is matched by impressive functionality, ensuring both form and function are taken to the next level.
At its core, the Squier SQR alnico single-coil pickups are arranged in a special configuration, with the middle pickup positioned near the bridge pickup, offering a unique tonal palette. This setup provides a range of dynamic, responsive sounds that will appeal to players seeking something fresh and versatile.
The guitar’s roasted maple neck is not only visually striking but also chosen for its tonal qualities and stability, ensuring a smooth playing experience. Coupled with a sculpted heel, players gain easy access to all 22 frets, making it ideal for high-register solos and fast playing.
High-performance hardware enhances the instrument’s functionality. The string-through-body hardtail bridge improves body resonance, giving the guitar better sustain and tuning stability. Additionally, the sealed-gear tuning machines with split shafts offer smooth and precise tuning adjustments while making restringing quick and easy.
In terms of styling, the stealthy black hardware, sleek painted headstock with chrome logos, and the Pearl White finish contribute to a premium, eye-catching look. The Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT is perfect for players looking for a modern instrument that delivers both stunning aesthetics and cutting-edge performance.
