Squier Standard Stratocaster – Maple Neck, Candy Apple Red

Description

The Squier Standard Stratocaster takes the timeless Strat blueprint and tweaks it for easier, faster playing without losing any of the character that made the design famous. The maple neck wears a slim “C” profile and a 9.5″ radius fingerboard, so bends stay smooth and choke-free across all 22 medium jumbo frets. It’s a neck built for players who want vintage vibe with modern comfort.

Loaded with three Standard Single-Coil Strat pickups in the classic S/S/S layout, this guitar delivers the bright, chiming top-end and articulate midrange Strats are known for. The 5-position blade switch opens up all the familiar tonal territory – from snappy bridge quack to warm neck tones and everything in between – while master volume and dual tone controls let you dial things in on the fly.

Under the hood, a 2-point synchronized tremolo with a standard arm gives you expressive pitch effects and smooth return-to-pitch performance, backed by standard die-cast tuning machines and a synthetic bone nut for stable tuning. The large ’60s style headstock, gold and black Squier logo, engraved neck plate, and white plastic hardware (including control knobs and switch tips) round out the retro-correct look, finished in a striking Candy Apple Red over a maple body.
