The Squier® Contemporary Stratocaster® Special HT brings modern features and bold aesthetics to an iconic Fender platform to satisfy today's most discerning and daring players. At the heart of this guitar is a set of Squier SQR™ alnico single-coil pickups positioned in a "special" configuration with the middle pickup near the bridge pickup for a unique variety of dynamically responsive settings. The roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability, and a sculpted heel design allows for improved access all the way to the 22nd fret. High-performance components round out the feature list and include a string-through-body hardtail bridge for ideal body resonance, and a set of sealed-gear tuning machines with split shafts for smooth tuning action and easy restringing. Eye-catching styling cues include stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos for a premium look.

Highlights

SQUIER® SQR™ ALNICO SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS

These Squier single-coil pickups produce crisp, articulate tone for a wide variety of styles.

ROASTED MAPLE NECK

With an articulate tone, optimal stability and a deep, rich color, roasted maple is a premium neck material.

SEALED DIE-CAST TUNING MACHINES WITH SPLIT SHAFTS

Sealed die-cast tuning machines have a smooth action for accurate tuning, and the split shafts make changing strings a breeze.

ASTRING-THROUGH-BODY HARDTAIL BRIDGE

A string-through-body bridge improves string resonance through the instrument for optimal tone, even in drop tunings.

SCULPTED NECK HEEL

This guitar is designed with a sculpted neck heel for improved access to the upper frets.

12“ FINGERBOARD RADIUS

This fingerboard radius allows for low action and is especially well-suited to bending notes and soloing.
