Squier Contemporary Stratocaster HSS - Ocean Blue Metallic  

Squier

Squier is part of Fender. In 1965 they were bought by Fender, specifically to sell their popular Stratocasters and Telecasters for a lower price. This means they are the only brand that can copy Fender guitars completely, because they are part of the patent. The difference between Fender and Squier guitars is mostly in where they are produced. Fender guitars are either made in Mexico or the United States, whereas Squier guitars are made in Asia, usually Indonesia or China. They also tend to use cheaper materials, depending on the series. This means Squier guitars can be cheaper than Fender guitars. However, Squier remains one of the best producers when it comes to cheap guitars, because they produce relatively high-quality guitars for the price.

The Squier Contemporary Stratocaster HSS

The Contemporary Stratocaster HSS has two single-coil pickups and one humbucker. This makes the guitar perfect for distortion. The guitar also has a beautiful ocean blue metallic colour. Furthermore, the tremolo has been modernised and has great tuning stability. The neck is quite thin and has a 12” radius fretboard, which makes the guitar very comfortable to play. This guitar is thus ideal for guitarists who want a Fender guitar for a low price!
