The Perfect Strat for Beginners, Kids, and Travelers

Get to know them!

The Squier Mini Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar makes a great instrument for beginners, younger players, and travelers. This 3/4-size guitar might look cute, but it’s also capable of becoming a tone monster when you plug it in. Like its big brother, the Squier Bullet, the Mini Strat uses three single-coil pickups, volume and tone controls, and 5-way pickup switching to give you an array of great sounds. It also includes a comfortable maple neck, an Indian laurel fingerboard, and a chrome-plated hardtail bridge. It’s perfect for smaller hands and sized just right for taking on the road.

Conveniently compact

Whether you’re a parent who’s outfitting your budding rock star with a first electric guitar or a seasoned player looking for a travel-ready Stratocaster, the Squier Mini Strat is a fantastic option. The guitar’s 22.75-inch scale length makes finger stretches much easier, and little hands will love the slimmer neck profile. And the Mini Strat’s body is about three-fourths the size of a full-size Stratocaster, making it comfortable and easy to fit into overhead airplane compartments.

Big Strat tone

Like its bigger cousins, the Squier Mini Stratocaster is loaded with the bell-like tones of three single-coil pickups. This arrangement offers some of the most popular and iconic guitar tones in history. Combined with a 5-way pickup selector and volume and tone controls, you’ll be nailing the familiar tones of legendary Strat players, such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Ritchie Blackmore. You’ll find a Mini Strat in many Sweetwater employees’ personal collections for just this reason!

A Stratocaster in every way

All the refined details that have made the Stratocaster one of the most legendary instruments in history can be found on your new Mini Strat. The comfortable and familiar forearm and body contours make playing the guitar a joy, and your Strat will ring true, thanks to the Indian laurel–capped maple neck. The 6-saddle hardtail bridge allows for fantastic intonation up and down the guitar’s neck. And you’ll love the striking image cut by the Squier Mini Strat’s large ’60s-style headstock.

  • 3/4-size Stratocaster guitar — perfect for beginners and younger players
  • 3 Stratocaster single-coil pickups
  • Maple neck with Indian laurel fingerboard

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While Certified Open Box items from Squier do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
