What is the most popular Squier Stratocaster?

The Affinity and Bullet Strats are very popular due to them being a great choice as a first electric guitar. The Squier Strat Packs are also some of our best sellers. They come with an amp and all the accessories that you need to get started.

What does a Squier Stratocaster sound like?

The Stratocaster is one of the most versatile electric guitar designs in existence. Squier's various models keep this famous versatility intact. The typical Stratocaster has a characteristic sound that is often referred to as 'chimey' and 'bell like'. It can also quickly change to a rock machine when some overdrive is added. Players such as Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix are great examples of how much can be achieved with a Strat.

What do 'HSS' and 'SSS' mean?

They both refer to the configuration of the pickups. Traditional Stratocaster guitars have three single coil pickups and this is often referred to as 'SSS'. This is a good all-round option and covers anything from pop and country to rock. Many Strat models in the various Squier ranges have a humbucker pickup in the bridge position with the other two single coils in the usual place. This configuration is known as 'HSS'. The humbucker is good for those who need a bit more power in their sound, so hard rock and metal players would benefit from this.

What are the different Squier Series?

The 'Bullet' guitars are the least expensive, followed by the 'Affinity' range. Both these ranges offer incredible value for money. 'Standard' Squiers are as the name suggests, a traditional option. 'Deluxe' may have extra features such as more upmarket finishes and pickguards. 'Classic Vibe' are recreations of vintage-era Fenders in terms of styling, hardware and details. 'Vintage Modified' are similar but allow for features such as non-vintage pickups and fingerboards. Finally, 'Contemporary' guitars are modern hot-rodded instruments with hotter (often active) pickups and non-vintage colours and styling.

Do any Squier Stratocasters come with active pickups?

The Squier Contemporary Active Stratocaster HH is equipped with active pickups. The 'Active' part refers to the pickups using an active circuit that requires extra power from a 9v battery in order to operate. Active pickups like these offer a high output signal with very low levels of background noise. This makes active pickups perfect for heavier genres where you may want to play loud staccato riffs with no 'noisy bits' in between your notes.
