Squier® Sonic® Stratocaster® HT

The Squier® Sonic® Stratocaster® HT delivers legendary Fender® style with the added stability and sustain of a hardtail bridge.

Our Take

For players who don't use a tremolo very often, the Sonic Stratocaster® HT may actually be the better choice over the standard tremolo model. The fixed hardtail bridge offers excellent tuning stability, slightly increased sustain, and makes restringing much quicker and easier. It's a fantastic beginner guitar because there's less to adjust and maintain, while experienced players will appreciate its dependable simplicity. If your playing centers around worship, country, blues, classic rock, or indie music, this guitar is an outstanding value.
