Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT Laurel Fingerboard Black Pickguard Sunset Metallic

The Contemporary Stratocaster Special HT delivers versatile tone through Squier SQR™ alnico single-coil pickups in a special configuration—middle pickup positioned near the bridge for dynamic, responsive sound across multiple settings. Built for performance and playability, the roasted maple neck provides optimal tone and stability, while a sculpted heel design grants comfortable access to the 22nd fret. A string-through-body hardtail bridge maximizes body resonance, and sealed-gear tuning machines with split shafts ensure smooth, reliable tuning and effortless restringing. The Sunset Metallic finish paired with black hardware and a painted headstock with chrome logos creates a striking, premium aesthetic that stands out on stage or in the studio.
