About Fender Squier Electric Guitars
Squier is a musical instrument brand owned by Fender, one of the most influential guitar manufacturers in the world. Originally founded in 1890, Squier was acquired by Fender in 1965 and re-launched in 1982 as a subsidiary to produce more affordable alternatives to Fender guitars. These instruments are celebrated for bringing reliable quality to budget-conscious musicians.
Squier delivers Fender's iconic designs—like the Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Jazzmaster—at a fraction of the cost. This makes Squier a great choice for both emerging musicians and seasoned players seeking value without compromising on style or sound. Models like the Squier Mini Stratocaster and the Squier Affinity Stratocaster HSS Pack offer compact and versatile options, ideal for beginners or those seeking a complete starter pack.
Squier’s wide product line caters to many different needs and musical preferences. The entry-level Sonic Series offers ease of use with great-sounding pickups and lightweight bodies, ideal for beginners. The Affinity Series provides upgraded features for serious newcomers or intermediate players.
For those who adore retro styles and sounds, the Classic Vibe Series presents vintage aesthetics and tones at a reachable price point. Lastly, the Contemporary Series is tailored for modern players, featuring advanced elements like active electronics and cutting-edge hardware to enhance playability and sound.
