Fender Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special (Black)
Fender Squier Contemporary Series Stratocaster Special (Black)
The Fender Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special (Black) is a 6-String Electric Guitar and an ideal combination of Vintage Strat style and modern features, the Squier Contemporary Strat Special HT is aimed at modern players. The Stratocaster from the Contemporary Series relies on 3x Squier SQR Alnico Single-Coils, whose special configuration provides an enormous variety of tonal possibilities, from classic Single-Coil Sounds to penetrating, hot Treble-Heavy Tones. In addition, a Roasted Maple Neck with a 22-Fret Indian Laurel Fingerboard is used, which has been heat treated for added stability and a particularly smooth feel for the Picking Hand. The Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT is completed by a 6-Saddle Hardtail Bridge and Die-Cast Tuners.
The main features of the Fender Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Special (Black) include:
6-String Electric Stratocaster Guitar
Body: Poplar
Neck: Roasted Maple
Fingerboard: Roasted Maple
Pick-Ups: 3x SQR Alnico Single-Coil
Bridge: 2-Point Synchronized Tremolo with Block Saddles
It doesn't have the craftsmanship of a 2000€ custom shop guitar, but for the price that you pay, it's basically flawless.
No sharp fret-ends, the setup that came on the guitar was great, a tiny bit of fret-buzz around the middle of the 5th but not an issue when played through amp / DAW and the action was perfect.
No cosmetic flaws whatsoever, the Daphne blue looks gorgeous in person and i personally can't stop staring at this guitar.
Stays in tune really well even with vigorous tremolo usage and temperature changes thanks to the roasted maple neck.
There's no way i'd pay double the money for an entry level fender when this thing exists.
