H/S/S Superstrat at a Great Price

Inspired by the Fender Contemporary series of the 1980s, today's Squier Contemporary Stratocaster HSS proves that a rocker-ready superstrat can be had for not a lot of dough. A set of high-gain ceramic single-coils and a supercharged humbucker, each with their own voice and output, run the gamut of party rock tones — from compressed '80s cleans and soaring leads to scorched-earth modern crunch when you need it. The Slim "C" neck with 12" radiused fingerboard provides a comfortable transition to higher frets and plenty of room for chording and bending. Meanwhile, the eye-catching zebra humbucker, trem bridge, and matching painted headstock give the Squier Contemporary Strat HSS the right look for your brand of hard rock and high-energy music.

H/S/S equipped

With three distinct pickups and a 5-way toggle, the Squier Contemporary Strat HSS covers a good range of tonal ground, from violin-like leads to aggressive crunch.

Tremolo bridge system

Onboard tremolo readies the Contemporary Strat HSS to add texture to chords and movement to solos straight away — no mods required.

Fast-playing Slim "C" neck

Lead players will enjoy exploring the Contemporary Strat HSS's quick, comfortable maple neck, whose 12" radiused fingerboard flattens out toward the body to facilitate faster playing styles. Narrow tall frets make bends and vibratos a cinch, too. If you're looking for a great-playing axe with inspiring stock tones to match, check out the Squier Contemporary Strat HSS from Sweetwater.
