Description

The Squier Sonic Stratocaster in California Blue brings legendary Fender DNA to your fingertips without breaking the bank. This isn't just another budget guitar—it's your gateway to decades of iconic tone and timeless style that has shaped music history.

Crafted with a lightweight poplar body and smooth "C"-shaped maple neck, this Strat feels effortless in your hands whether you're practicing bedroom riffs or commanding the stage. The trio of ceramic single-coil pickups delivers that unmistakable Stratocaster chime with crystal-clear articulation across all five pickup positions, giving you everything from glassy clean tones to gritty overdrive textures.

The vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge opens up a world of expressive possibilities—from subtle vibrato flourishes to dramatic dive bombs that'll make your solos soar. Meanwhile, the sealed die-cast tuning machines keep you perfectly in tune through even the most energetic performances, while the durable chrome hardware catches the light with professional appeal.
