The Perfect Starter Strat for Budding Rockers
The Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS gives budding musicians a superb gateway into the world of electric guitar. The Affinity Strat Junior HSS features a shorter 24-inch scale and a lightweight and comfortably contoured poplar body, which is bolstered by a C-shaped neck and an easy-playing Indian laurel fingerboard. And a versatile trio of pickups, one humbucker and two single-coils, serves up versatile tones that cover blues, classic rock, and even metal with equal assurance. The days when new players had to settle for a barely playable pawn shop guitar are long gone. Thanks to the Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS, aspiring guitar heroes can benefit from a quality instrument right out of the gate.
That Strat neck!
The Strat neck is legendary for its unique feel and response. The shorter scale and C profile bolt-on maple neck on the Affinity deliver vintage feel and playability. The Indian laurel fingerboard features 21 medium-jumbo frets for comfortable, nearly effortless chording and smooth lead runs — ideal for long nights of jamming and performing. Plus, your leads will soar given the expressive opportunities offered by the synchronous tremolo bridge.
Versatile trio of pickups
The Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS has been wired for tone with a mind-blowing array of sound shaping at your fingertips. The two single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions arm you with all the classic, punchy tone you'd expect from single-coils. A solo humbucker in the bridge position brings the crunch and growl when you want to get a bit heavier. And with a 5-position blade switch, a master volume, and two tone controls, Sweetwater guitarists have unlocked a wide variety of sounds to dial in along with near-infinite stylistic colorings to explore.
