Classic Fender Style
Enter the world of electric guitars with the Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT - a remarkable entry-level instrument designed to captivate both new players and experienced musicians alike. Like every model in Squier’s Sonic series, the Squier Sonic Strat HT offers the most affordable entry point to owning an electric guitar with iconic Fender style.
Sleek Design and Unmatched Playability
The Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT sports a thin, lightweight body that ensures superb playing comfort during extended practice sessions, rehearsals and performances. With a slim and inviting “C”-shaped neck profile, the Stratocaster HT caters to players of all skill levels, providing an effortless playing experience.
The maple neck, complete with a satin urethane back finish, offers a smooth and comfortable fretting hand experience feel whilst you get to grips with the guitar. Boasting 21 Narrow Tall frets, the Sonic Stratocaster HT allows for easy chording and expressive string bends, while the synthetic bone nut ensures excellent sustain and string stability.
Impressive Tone and Versatility
Equipped with three Squier single-coil pickups, the Sonic Stratocaster HT delivers a range of classic Strat tones. If you’re looking for a guitar with a crisp, clear and detailed tone that can handle a wide range of styles, you’ve got it here.
The Squier Sonic range offers a variety of Stratocaster models, including another HT version with a humbucker instead of single coils, a tremolo bridge version with an SSS configuration and a versatile HSS version with two single coils and a humbucker.
Stability and Precision with the 6-Saddle Hardtail Bridge
The Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT features a 6-saddle hardtail bridge that delivers precise intonation and tuning stability, whilst the sealed-gear tuning machines provide smooth and accurate adjustments.
Compared to the tremolo bridge version of the Sonic Stratocaster, the HT model is a lot more straightforward to maintain and holds its tuning well during intense playing sessions. We recommend the HT version if you’re a beginner that wants a fuss-free experience for your first guitar.
Quality Tonewoods and Craftsmanship
The Sonic Stratocaster HT boasts a poplar body that delivers a balanced and resonant tone, complemented by the bright character of the maple neck. These quality tonewoods combine to create a guitar that sounds as impressive as it looks.
