Squier Mini Strat Dakota Red Overview
This Stratocaster style 3/4 Size Electric Guitar is a simple, affordable and practical guitar designed for beginners and students. A perfect choice for a first guitar no matter who you are or what style of music you want to learn. Featuring the classic features that made the Strat one of the world’s favourite guitars, the Bullet Mini Strat is a great introduction to the Fender family.
What's the difference between this and other brand guitars? The Squier brand is the entry-level for the brand Fender, possibly the most iconic electric guitar brand in the world. The Stratocaster shape is available from Fender from entry-level all the way up to collector level and is the choice of many professional and guitar heroes like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton & Dave Gilmour.
What is a Hardtail? It's a version of the Stratocaster without a tremolo arm, which alters the pitch using a bar. This makes it more stable tuning wise and therefore better to learn on.
A smaller version of the Bullet® Strat®, the newly redesigned Mini is a great guitar for beginners, travellers and players with smaller hands. Features include a new thinner body and a slimmer neck profile for easy playability. Equipped with three single-coil Stratocaster® pickups and 5-way switching for classic Fender tones, the Mini also features improved tuning machines, a hardtail bridge, smaller strap pins and a side-mounted output jack.
