Bold styling and modern playability has been seamlessly mashed together in the familiar yet alien shape of the Squier Contemporary Stratocaster HH FR. This Strat comes uniquely mounted with a pair of powerful Squier SQR Atomic humbuckers supported by a five-way switch. In position 2, the coil-tap is activated to split the humbuckers in two, accessing the sound of a single-coil at the neck and at the bridge. Switch up to position 4 to isolate the single-coil at the neck or just activate both humbuckers for a thick, full-fat sound. This edition of the Contemporary Stratocaster not only sounds singular, but comes finished with a black pickguard and matching headstock.

The Contemporary Stratocaster HH FR: Accurate Playability

As hinted at by the additional 'FR' in the name, this Strat has been loaded with the full-force of a Floyd Rose double locking tremolo. This floating bridge is able to shape the most extreme vibrato playing effects in living memory while capably maintaining unshakable tuning stability. This has been paired up with a comfortably rounded heel and neck plate for eased access to each of the 22 jumbo frets and a roasted maple neck, which not only adds a lush, aged look, but firms up the stability and comes coated in satin-gloss for a gliding, super-smooth playing feel.
