Product Description

The Mini Stratocaster is a perfect smaller-scale instrument for producing classic Fender tone. The lightweight and thin body is comfortable to hold and play, and sealed die-cast tuning machines offer reliable tuning stability. Three single-coil pickups and 5-way switching provide impressive sonic variety for this pint-sized guitar.

Dynamically responsive, clear-sounding single-coil pickups provide crisp, rich tone.

Vintage-Style Hardtail Bridge

I recently bought both the mini Squier Bass and mini Squier Guitar from Fender. In the case of the guitar, it was particularly because my hand was cramping and my joints were really starting to hurt while stretching to make cord shapes.This thing plays like a dream. The strings it comes with are smaller and less harsh than the ones on my full size Squier guitar. The frets are extremely comfortable in their relative distance, and much easier to play.The one thing to note that might make people think something is wrong is that it seems the volume is MUCH louder out of the guitar itself. On my full size, I'd have to play at 8-10 to get certain kinds of reverb sounds. On this mini, I find that 4-5 is more than sufficient (this is on the guitar, not on the amp).Also, as I noted in a few replies to other reviews, this seems to come with 2 layers of protective film over the white part. After taking off the first one, I was /horrified/ to see a huge 3.5-4.5" scuff on white area above the pickups. Then I found a second layer of film. I pulled that off, and it was perfect underneath.This is now my primary guitar. My soundboard/amp has settings for Acoustic sound, so I use it for acoustic practice as well. This would certainly be the one I'd travel with (if the world wasn't shut down right now).

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy It! It is quality and great for kids.
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019
I bought this for my little girl who has been taking guitar for a year (she is going from acoustic to electric.) I bought the guitar separately from the amp and cord to make it easy to return one item if one didn’t work. This item includes the pink guitar only.

I have been playing guitar for two decades and I have always preferred acoustic. When I put her guitar together to test it before I gifted it to her, it was so amazing. It worked perfectly and it wasn’t a junky, toy guitar. It made me want to get my own electric.

I highly recommend this guitar. It is perfect for beginners and kids who have had lessons. It’s quality. I am very excited about our purchase.
