Fender Squier Contemporary Stratocaster® Special HT – Pearl White (Indian Laurel Fingerboard)

The Fender Squier Contemporary Stratocaster® Special HT (Model #: 0370235523) is a modern Strat-style electric guitar built for fast playability, strong sustain, and clear, expressive single-coil tone. Finished in a sleek Pearl White, this hardtail Strat delivers a stable playing feel with upgraded modern details, making it ideal for players who want precision, comfort, and standout Strat character.

This model comes loaded with Squier SQR™ alnico single-coil pickups (SSS) that offer articulate response, dynamic clarity, and a punchy attack across clean and driven tones. Its special pickup configuration places the middle pickup closer to the bridge, creating unique tonal combinations with added bite and presence compared to traditional Strat wiring. For extra stability and strong resonance, the guitar features a string-through-body hardtail bridge with block saddles, supporting consistent tuning and sustain-focused performance. A smooth roasted maple neck adds stability and a fast modern feel, while the sculpted neck heel improves access to upper frets for lead playing. With its painted headstock and chrome logos, this Strat carries a refined contemporary look suited for modern stage setups.
