SUMMER NAMM 2017: We absolutely loved Squier’s recent hardtail Jazzmaster and Mustang, so we’re over the moon to see the company give the Strat a similar treatment, with the launch of standard-spec and HSS Bullet models.
What’s more, Fender’s affordable brand is also serving up a newly redesigned Mini Strat, designed for first-time players and travelling guitarists.
Head on through the gallery for a closer look at all the models.
