Frequently Asked Questions about Squier Standard Stratocaster

Question: Why do Squier Standard Stratocasters have larger headstocks than other Stratocasters?
Squier Standard Strats have large headstocks because they are referencing a specific moment in Fender's past. Stratocasters and other Fender guitars in the late 60s and early 70s were given large headstocks for the sole purpose of providing space for a larger logo decal! These days the two headstock sizes coexist in harmony, each style having its own share of fans.
Question: Do tremolos make Stratocasters go out of tune?
Tremolos (or whammy bars if you prefer) work by slackening the pressure on strings to drop the string's pitch before bringing the pressure back (as you depress the bar) and returning the pitch to normal. This can often result in tuning problems because the string can stick at the nut. This is relatively easy to minimize. Make sure your Squier Stratocaster is properly 'set up' by a pro (ask in store) and consider rubbing a little graphite from a pencil in each nut slot to facilitate easy string movement. You want your string to be as free to move as possible. This should help safeguard against tuning instabilities but remember, even Jimi Hendrix had to retune mid-song on occasion!
Question: What Stratocaster models are available within the Standard series?
Currently the Squier Standard Stratocaster model is the one and only model in the series! Squier produce many different series', and HSS Strats and others like it now belong in the Vintage Modified and Contemporary series'.
Question: What are the differences between the Affinity Strat and the Standard Strat?
Visually, the Squier Standard Strat has finishes available including 'Antique Burst' that are not available on the Affinity Strat. There is also the option of a tortoiseshell pickguard with certain finishes. More significantly, the Standard Strat adds alnico-magneted pickups which provide an instant and significant upgrade. Plus, the saddles on the tremolo bridge are anodized for greater performance and tuning stability since they allow freer string movement.
