Mini Stratocaster, Laurel Fingerboard, Black

Product Information

The looks of a guitar is important for children (and adults of course). Squier makes the Mini Strat in several colors, so your child can choose one that fits his/her personality the most. It produces little-punch, light, and bright toning, with clarity of sound being among its greatest characteristics. I can honestly say that through a bigger amp, it sounds just like a regular Stratocaster. Of course, parents looking for a guitar for their children will probably buy a small practice amp, which is perfectly fine as well. Colorful options The Squier Mini Series is the perfect companion for those seeking a down-sized guitar or bass, whether it’s for travel, learning how to play or its affordable price. Either way, the Mini Series is a great introduction to the Fenderworld.

Thank you for taking the time to read this article. I really do hope it helps others interested in the Squier Mini Jazzmaster, I've been as honest as possible with every detail of my experience in purchasing one of these guitars for my son to learn with. I personally feel the guitar we bought is a great little instrument, and more than happy to hand it to my boy! But getting the Squier Mini as a travel guitar for instance, or just a 2nd practice guitar makes a lot of sense to me. Rewind to January and the Winter NAMM show, which seems like a lifetime ago now! One of the coolest(and fun) product announcements I saw was from Squier, introducing another classic shape to their 'mini' series, with my beloved Jazzmaster! I was incredibly keen to see these hit UK shores as our young son loves to strum the guitars in the house. Needless to say though, he finds it incredibly difficult to sit with the full sized counterparts, so I have been on the lookout for a 'mini' 3/4 or 1/2 sized guitar for him to have a go with. Inspiring a young person to want to play an instrument is such an important thing to me, and I must say, Miles has known many guitar-savvy words from a very early age, 'Jazzmaster' being one of them, so this little mini version was the perfect fit!

Success

The Mini Strat's body is crafted from lightweight poplar - a tonewood favoured for its balanced sound and versatility. It's suited to a variety of music genres, letting you experiment with a range of playing styles and techniques. And its ergonomic contours provide you with an incredibly comfortable performance. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The Squier Mini Strat is a full-blooded Strat. Ideal for younger beginners or players with smaller hands, the Mini Strat is a 3/4 size version of the incredibly popular Bullet Strat.

The Squier Bullet Series is a size-up to this range with all the same features and a variety of guitars to choose from. If you’ve observed musicians and guitarists performing for a while, these controls will be easier for you to master. This mini guitar’s strings remain in tune for long such that children can play for days on end without any intonation issues courtesy of its hardtail bridge that offers a great sustain. The Mini Strat comes with Fender USA, NPS, .009-.042 strings. These are OK for beginners, you can upgrade to higher quality ones when you need to change strings in a few months.Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty Another customer noted that the guitar was spot on, but the amp in the starter kit is not that great. It’s good enough to learn on, but will probably be replaced before the guitar is. (EDITORS NOTE: This is very true. Even the best guitars are limited by bad amplifiers. The amp should be your first major upgrade.) The Mini Strat’s basswood and maple combo produce that signature bright sound. So, even if it’s down-sized compared to regular Strat guitars, the Mini Strat still has the features of a Strat. What makes the Squier Mini Series such a steal for beginners is how it combines a reliable brand with cost-effective options, while still having quality sound and design. The Squier Mini Series offers simple, low-cost entry-level guitars and bass perfect for beginners, students and lovers of Fender. The Squier Mini incarnates the classic features of the Stratocaster and Jazzmaster, sized down into compact versions of the classic Fender designs.

The Perfect Strat for Beginners, Kids, and Travelers

A mom who bought the guitar as a birthday present for her daughter who has played acoustic for 3 years said that the Mini Strat was a huge hit, her daughter loves it. Naturally, you wouldn’t play the Squier Mini at a gig. I mean you could with the right amp and effects, but it would look a bit silly.
