Fat Humbucking Tones
Equipped with a Squier humbucking (H) bridge pickup, the Sonic Stratocaster HT H generates a potent, high-output tone that excels at rock and metal styles. The Sonic Stratocaster HT H’s streamlined pickup configuration is reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen’s Frankenstrat, making it a great choice for shredders-in-training.

For those seeking the quintessential Strat sound, there are two other Squier Sonic Strats available - a classic three single-coil pickup model and a versatile humbucker and two single-coils (HSS) model.
Reliable and Consistent Performance
Incorporating a 6-saddle hardtail bridge (HT), the Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT H ensures rock-solid intonation and tuning stability whilst the sealed-gear tuning machines provide precise, smooth tuning adjustments. Squier includes wrenches for adjusting the saddle height and truss rod so you can set up your Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT H straight out of the box.
Quality Tonewoods
Constructed with a poplar body, the Sonic Stratocaster HT H delivers a balanced and resonant tone that harmonises perfectly with the brightness of the maple neck. This combination of tonewoods culminates in a guitar that sounds as captivating as it looks.
