What’s the difference between this and other brand guitars?
The Squier brand is the entry-level for the Fender brand, possibly the most iconic electric guitar brand in the world. The Stratocaster shape is available from Fender from entry-level all the way up to collector level and is the choice of many professionals and guitar heroes like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton & Dave Gilmour.
If you want a slightly better guitar, consider the Squier Affinity series, which uses a poplar body and higher quality pickups. The series has great entry-level guitars at a slightly higher price point.
What is HSS?
HSS is the pickup configuration or the “microphones” that pick up the movement of the strings.
HSS means Humbucker, Single Coil, Single Coil. Humbucker means the pickup is quieter and more powerful, whereas single coils are valued for their clarity and expression.
