To get an idea of how a Squier Affinity Stratocaster sounds, check out the video below.

These Squier Stratocasters are some nice guitars. Designed with the help of the artist they are named for, these Squier Stratocasters have unique sounds and features that you won't find on any other Strat. Unfortunately for those of us in the USA, none of these Squier Stratocasters are available here. Bummer! Let's take a look at these guys, anyway.

• Squier Sham Kamikaze Signature Stratocaster
  
  
  

  The Sham Kamikaze Squier Stratocaster was developed from the Classic Vibe Series with the help of Malaysia's top guitarist, Sham Kamikaze. Sham's distinctive touches include a reverse headstock, reverse string arrangement. Continuing the theme, the bridge pickup is reverse angled.
  
  The Sham Kamikaze Squier Stratocaster has some very nice features: first an alder body(great tonewood) that you can get in either Black or White(if you're in Malayasia that is), 3 single coil pickups with reverse-staggered Alnico III magnets, gloss C-shaped maple neck with a 9.5" radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets. The reverse headtock sport's Sham's signature on the front and a Sigma symbol on the back.
  
  The Sham Kamikaze Squier Stratocaster also sports chrome hardware, a 1-ply white pickguard, vintage style tuners and the typical Stratocaster control layout: a master volume control, separate tone controls for the middle and neck pickups and the traditional 5-position blade pickup selector switch.
  
  This sweet Squier Stratocaster is a guitar that is totally unique and looks, plays and sounds great. Like I said, the only downside is that you can only get the Squier Sham Kamikaze Squier Stratocaster if you're in Malaysia. If you are, and want one, check out Bentley Music. As far as I know, they are the sole distributor for the Sham Kamikaze Suier Stratocaster(and, no, I don't have a business relationship with them - I'm providing the dealer info so that you know where to get one if you want one).

• Squier Simon Neil Signature Stratocaster
  
  
  

  The Squier Simon Neil Signature Squier Stratocaster puts Biffy Clyro guitarist Simon Neil's personal touch on a Classic Vibe Squier Stratocaster. Never heard of Biffy Clyro? Neither had I until I started working on this site. I did a YouTube search for some videos so that I could see what the guitar sounded like and I can tell you that this thing is one of the most Heavy Metal sounding Stratocaster I've ever encountered. I own a nice Fender Mexican Strat with the bridge humbucker and the Simon Neil Strat makes it sound thin. It's not the sound equipment he uses, it's the guitar. Trust me on this. I play through a half-stack that consists of a Peavey ValveKing 100W tube head mated to a Marshall 412 cabinet and use a Line6 PODXT Live for my effects. If I want face melting Metal sound I can definitely get it.
  
  At any rate, the Simon Neil Squier Stratocaster has some very nice features. It sports an alder body with a Gloss Polyester Fiesta Red finish. The neck is C-shaped maple with a Vintage Tint Gloss Polyester finish and 21 medium jumbo fret rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius and white dot position inlays. The headstock sports a Biffy Clyro logo on the front and Simon's signature on the back.
  
  A very unique feature is in the pickups. The Simon Neil Strat sports the vintage pickup configration of three single coil pickups but the real story is in the pickups themselves. The pickups are Alnico magnets but have 5 poles under the bass strings and 3 pole pieces under the treble strings. Definitely a one of a kind configuration. If you're at all familiar with Strats you can hear the difference, believe me.
  
  To finish things out, the Simon Neil Squier Stratocaster features a vintage style synchronous tremolo bridge with vintage style tuners, a 3-ply mint green pickguard, chrome hardware and the traditional Stratocaster controls. All in all, this Squier Stratocaster is a sweet axe. There's only one problem, though. It's only available in Europe. We Americans can't get one. If you're in Europe and want one, check MusicRadar.com. Again, I don't have any kind of business relationship with them. I'm just providing the info so that you know where to get one if you're in Europe and want one. Check out the video below if you want to hear how this wicked Squier Stratocaster sounds.

• Squier O-Larn Signature Stratocaster
  
  
  

  Last, but not least, we come to the Squier O-Larn Signature Squier Stratocaster. Named for and designed with the help of O-Larn, Thailand's top guitar hero, this is another sweet Squier Stratocaster. Unfortunately, you can't get one unless you're in Thailand. Anybody seeing a pattern here? Squier, if you're listening, why don't you make the Artist models available worldwide?
  
  Once again, this Artist Signature Squier Stratocaster boasts some very nice features. It has an alder body with a suitcase full of polyurethane finishes: 3-color Sunburst, Daphne Blue, Olympic White, Black, Natural and Fiesta Red. Whew! The neck is a very fast soft V-shaped maple with a 9.5" radius, rosewood fingerboard sporting 21 medium jumbo frets. The '60s style headstock sports O-Larn's signature and standard die-cast tuners.
  
  Things really get intersting when we look at the sonic equipment. The O-Larn boasts 3 Duncan designed Hot Rails pickups. Ready for some ear melting tone? It's on the way. Rounding things out we have a twin-pivot tremolo bridge, a 3-ply white pickguard and chrome controls. This time, however, there is only a volume control and the traditional Stratocaster 5-position pickup selector switch. No tone controls? Nope. Don't need 'em. This thing is designed to blast and the Duncans definitely get the job done. Check out the video below and you'll see what I mean. I can't understand a word the guy's saying but his playing speaks for itself and the guitar's sound is fantastic. This booger is definitely one of the wickedest sounding Squier Stratocasters I've seen

• Squier Bullet Strat HSS With Tremolo
  
  
  
  The Squier Stratocaster HSS is designed to be a more hard rocking machine than its brother thanks to having a humbucking pickup at the bridge for that fuller, heavier Metal sound. The HSS has fewer finish options than its brother but you still get great looks with your choice of Black, Brown Sunburst and Arctic White polyurethane finishes.

The Squier Stratocaster Classic Vibe series brings back the vibe of the classic 50s and 60s Stratocasters. Each axe in the series is set up with features that evokes the vibe of the era that inspired it. Both of these Squier Stratocasters are fantastic axes.

• Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60s
  
  
  
  The rough-and-tumble Classic Vibe Squier Stratocaster '60s evokes that musically adventurous decade, with a few modern features added.
  
  The body of the Classic Vibe 60s is alder(great tonewood) with your choice of a 3-color Sunburst or Candy Apple Red gloss polyurethane finish. The 1-piece maple, modern C-shaped neck sports a 21 medium jumbo fret rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius, white doT position inlays and a synthetic bone nut.

Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance. In addition, the Classic Vibe 60s sports the traditional Stratocaster controls: master volume, middle and neck pickup tone controls and the 5-way blade pickup selector switch.
  
  In addition, it's BOMBS AWAY with the Vintage Style Synchronized tremolo bridge!

  The long-familiar 50s tone comes from a custom set of alnico III single-coil pickups-clear and bright, with terrific sustain even in crunch mode. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance. In addition, the Classic Vibe 50s sports the traditional Stratocaster controls: master volume, middle and neck pickup tone controls and the 5-way blade pickup selector switch.
  
  Once again, it's BOMBS AWAY with the Vintage Style Synchronized tremolo bridge!
  
  Finally, the Lake Placid Blue and 2-color Sunburst finishes come with a 1-ply White pickguard and the Olympic White comes with a 1-ply gold pickguard.
  
  Either one of these cool Squier Stratocasters will have you ROCKING OUT!

  Versatile and high-performance, the Deluxe Hot Rails Squier Stratocaster guitar has traditional Fender vibe to spare, but under the hood you'll find modern hot-rod mods that turn this thing into a beast.
  
  Things start off with a nicely contoured basswood body that gives you a nice warm tone. The body is avaliable in two polyurethane finishes: Black and Olympic White. Joined to the body is a modern C-shaped maple neck with a 22 medium jumbo fret, 9.5 " rosewood fingerboard with dot position inlays.

Unique graphic art designs by renowned artist Shepard Fairey make the OBEY Series guitars spectacular works of art. Of course, that's not all they are. The OBEY Series Squier Stratocasters are truly kick butt, hard rocking machines. My personal favorite is the Dissent Graphic. It just has a seriously sinister look to it.

• Squier Stratocaster HSS OBEY Dissent
  
  
  

Like I said earlier, the only real difference in these Squier Stratocasters is the graphic. Both of these Squier Stratocasters are seriously hard rocking machines. And, as you knew I would, I dug up a video of the Dissent(my favorite) so that you can see and hear these guys in action. Unless you speak Hungarian, you aren't going to be able to understand a word the guy is saying but he provides a great review. Just wait for him to start playing. P.S. This sounds MUCH better than my Fender MIM Strat.

The Squier Stratocaster SE Series is actually a value pack containing a Squier Special Edition Stratocaster. To get the details on the pack, visit my Squier Electric Guitar Packages page. The page will open in another tab or window so that you don't lose your place here.

The Squier Stratocaster Standard Series guitars will give you more bang for your buck than you're likely to find anywhere else. Let's take a look at the models that make up the Standard Series.

• Squier Stratocaster Black and Chrome HSS Special Edition
  
  
  
  The Squier Sratocaster Black and Chrome Special Edition is very edgy with a classic appeal. The black and chrome scheme looks awesome and the axe plays and sounds every bit as good as it looks.
  
  The Black and Chrome Stratocaster HSS starts with an agathis body for great tone. You've got one color scheme and one only - the body is black with a polyurethane finish and you get a chrome pickguard. The neck is C-shaped maple with a polyurethane finish and a 22 medium jumbo fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position inlays. Finishing out the killer vibe is a large '60s style headstock painted to match the body, standard die-cast tuners, chrome hardware, knurled chrome control knobs. an engraved neckplate and black plastic pickup covers and a black plastic pickup switch tip.
  
  Totally bad-assed sound comes from a humbucker at the bridge and Alnico magnet single coil pickups in the middle and neck position. In order to fully control and shape your sound the Squier Stratocaster Black and Chrome HSS provides you with the standard Stratocaster controls: master volume, separate tone controls for the middle and neck pickups and, finally, the traditional 5-way pickup selector switch. You can get everything from the traditional Stratocaster snap and pop to modern Metal sound with this baby. If you watched the video above of a Squier HSS, you know how these bad boys sound.
  
  Finally, to round things out the Squier Stratocaster Black and Chrome HSS also has a twin-pivot tremolo bridge so you can dive-bomb to your heart's content. If you want a totally versatile axe at an incredible price, look no further. You've found it.

  The body and neck have the same specifications as the Black and Chrome HSS except that the fingerboard is maple for a slightly warmer, mellower tone than the rock monster provides.

• Squier Standard Stratocaster Rosewood
  
  
  
  The Squier Stratocaster Standard Rosewood is the same guitar as the Squier Stratocaster Maple with only a couple of differences. The fingerboard is rosewood which gives a slightly darker tone than the Maple's maple fingerboard. In addition, you get more pickguard options on the Rosewood than on the Maple. In addition to the pickguard options on the Maple, the Squier Stratocaster Rosewood gives you 1-ply Matte Black and 3-ply Mint Green pickguard options.

  Like the others, this Squier Stratocaster is a fantastic rocking machine at an unbelievable value.



• Squier Standard Stratocaster Left Hand
  
  
  
  The Squier Standard Stratocaster Left Hand is basically the "lefty" version of the Squier Stratocaster Rosewood and Squier Stratocaster Maple.
  
  You can get it in either Antique Burst or Black Metallic finishes and can opt for either a rosewood or maple fingerboard depending on your preference.
  
  If you're a "lefty" and you don't want to have to do like Jimi Hendrix did and string your Strat upside down, this Squier Stratocaster has your name on it.

Many players like to use lower-end Squiers as a platform to build their own customized axes by replacing the pickups, nut, hardware and various other parts in order to get the sound and feel they want without chopping up high-end, expensive guitars. With the Vintage Modified Series of Squier Stratocasters this isn't necessary. The modifications have already been made so when you buy a Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster you won't need to shell out any more cash to get a hot-rodded guitar. Let's have a look at the models that make up the 2011 line-up.

• Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster
  
  
  
  
  
  The Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster starts with an Indian Red Cedar body which provides a fast attack and great resonance. The body is available in four polyurethane finishes: 3-Color Sunburst, Olympic White, Cherry Red and Cherry Sunburst FMT. The vibe continues with a C-shaped maple neck with a polyurethane finish. The neck sports a 21 medium jumbo fret, 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard with dot position inlays. The headstock is the traditional Fender Stratocaster shape with standard die-cast tuners.
  
  Great sound is provided by 3 Duncan designed SC-101 Alnico 5 single-coil pickups. To control the sound and tone, the Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster sports the traditional Strat controls: master volume, separate tone controls for the middle and neck pickups and the traditional Stratocaster 5-way blade pickup selector switch. If you like dive-bombing, the vintage synchronous tremolo bridge has you covered.
  
  Further features are chrome hardware, white plastic parts, an engraved neckplate and a gold and black Squier logo. In addition, each body finish choice has it's own unique pickguard: 3-ply black, 4-ply Tortoise Shell, 4-ply Red Shell and 3-ply Parchment.
  
  All in all, the Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster is a sweet hot-rodded guitar at a great price. The only thing I would suggest doing to this guitar is replacing the tuners with a set of good locking tuners if you use the tremolo a lot. If you don't, you'll end up doing a lot of re-tuning as you play.



• Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster HSS
  
  
  
  The Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster HSS gives you high output, rocking performance at a bargain price. The specifications are the same as those of the Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster except for the pickups and finishes so I won't repeat everything. I'll just give you the rundown of the differences.
  
  Starting with the pickups, the Vintage modified Squier Stratocaster HSS sports Duncan designed hum canceling pickups: an HB-112 at the neck and SC-102 Stack pickups in the middle and neck positions. The HB-112 gives you great hard rocking tone and the single-coils give you that traditional Stratocaster bite and bark so beloved of Hendrix fans.
  
  As for the finishes, you get two choices: Black Polyurethane and Gun Metal Grey Polyurethane. For the pickguard, you can get 3-ply White/Black/White.
  
  The Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster HSS is a great hard rocking hotrod at a super price. As withe the Vintage Modified Squier Stratocaster, the only change I would make would be to swap out the tuners for a good set of locking tuners. To tell the truth, this isn't a condemnation of the Squiers. I would make the same change on any tremolo equipped guitar that didn't have locking tuners.
