Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster Junior HSS - 3 Color Sunburst

Squier By Fender Affinity Series® Stratocaster® Junior HSS – 3-Color Sunburst, Indian Laurel Fingerboard

The Fender Squier Affinity Series® Stratocaster® Junior HSS (Model #: 0378180500) is a compact Strat-style electric guitar designed for easy handling, comfortable reach, and beginner-friendly playability. Finished in classic 3-Color Sunburst, it features a reduced-size body and a shorter 24" scale length, making it an excellent option for younger players, smaller hands, or anyone who prefers a more compact Strat feel for everyday playing and learning.

This Junior model uses an HSS pickup configuration that blends the clarity of two single-coils with the added power of a bridge ceramic humbucker, allowing players to move from bright clean tones to thicker driven sounds with ease. A smooth 5-position blade switch provides multiple pickup combinations, while the 2-point synchronized tremolo bridge supports expressive vibrato playing with a modern feel. The comfortable “C” shaped maple neck with a satin urethane finish offers a fast and familiar grip, and the 9.5" radius Indian laurel fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets delivers a modern playing surface suited for both chords and lead lines. For steady performance, it includes sealed die-cast tuning machines with split shafts for stable tuning and easier restringing.
