Squier Beginner Guitars...
Quality Electric Guitars At An Affordable Price

Squier by Fender Deluxe Stratocaster

Squier beginner guitars are a great choice for the beginning guitarist. When you're starting out, you don't need professional level equipment and you definitely don't need to spend the thousands of dollars it takes to get yourself set up with a professional rig. You do, however, need good quality equipment because you need good sound and good playability. Poor quality equipment will play horribly and sound crappy. It will most likely discourage you to the point that you'll give up because you don't realize that the problem is with the equipment and not with you.

Squier beginner guitars are the perfect answer. Squier has been owned by Fender since 1965 and since the early 1980's has been producing high quality, affordable versions of Fender's famous Stratocaster, Telecaster and many other guitar models. Any Squier model would make a good guitar for the beginner, however, I recommend spending $300 or less on your first guitar. With a Squier you can get a great guitar in this price range. The models listed below are by no means all the available Squier by Fender models, but they do all fall in my suggested price range.

Check these beauties out and enjoy.

Squier by Fender Bullet Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar with Tremolo
Click Image For Larger View

The Bullet Stratocaster HSS with tremolo is a practical and affordable guitar designed for the beginning guitarist.

The body is basswood for a nice, warm tone. The neck is maple with bolt-on construction and a 21 medium jumbo fret rosewood fretboard with white dot position inlays. In addition, it sports the traditional Stratocaster style headstock with covered tuners.

The Squier Bullet Stratocaster HSS features a humbucking pickup at the bridge and a Strat single coil in the center and at the neck. This is a pickup configuration I particularly like. I own a mid-2000's Fender Strat with the same pickup configuration and the tonal variety you can get from it is virtually endless. Finishing out the tonal package you get a synchronous tremolo bridge with cast saddles and a master volume and two tone controls. Finally, you get a 5-way selector switch that allows you to select a wide range of pickup combinations for all sorts of tonal variety.

All in all, this Squier beginner guitar is a great choice for the beginning guitarist.

The Squier Black and Chrome Fat Strat looks great in pictures but has to be seen in person to really be appreciated. In addition, the quality of its sound and construction rivals that of much more expensive guitars.

The Black and Chrome Fat Strat features an agathis body, a bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood, 22 medium jumbo fret fretboard with dot position inlays. The body has a gloss black finish with a chrome pickguard - sweet!

Sound is provided by a hot humbucking pickup at the bridge and Strat single coil pickups in the center and neck positions(remember - this is a pickup configuration that I love - if you want a hot rock sound or a classic twangy Strat sound, you've got it in one package). You've also got a synchronous twin point tremolo bridge to sweeten the pot. Of course, you've also got chrome hardware - a master volume control, two tone controls( one for the humbucker and one for the single coils) as well as a 5-way toggle switch for pickup selection.
