Squier Mini Strat®

Squier Mini Stratocaster® — Laurel Fingerboard

Big Strat tone in a smaller package — the Squier Mini Stratocaster is the real deal for younger players, travelers, and anyone who’s ever wished their guitar fit a little better. Built on a ¾-size body with a 22.75″ scale length, it’s easier to play than a full-size guitar without sacrificing the classic Stratocaster look, feel, or sound that makes Fender’s most iconic shape so beloved.

Key Features:

• Three Single-Coil Stratocaster Pickups with 5-Way Switching — Classic Strat tone in a compact format, delivering crisp, clear sound across all five pickup positions — from glassy neck tones to bright, biting bridge sounds
• “C”-Shaped Maple Neck — The most comfortable and universally playable neck profile available, making it accessible for smaller hands while remaining familiar to experienced players
• 22.75″ Short Scale Length — Reduced string tension makes chords and bends easier, which is especially helpful for beginners and younger players still building finger strength
• 20-Fret Laurel Fingerboard — Plenty of range for learning and growing, with a smooth, comfortable playing surface
• Vintage-Style Hardtail Bridge — Fixed bridge design improves tuning stability and sustain, making it a reliable, low-maintenance setup that’s great for players who are still developing their technique

Ideal For:

The Squier Mini Stratocaster is the perfect starter guitar for kids and younger players who find a full-size instrument difficult to hold or play comfortably. It’s also a smart pick for travelers who want a real electric guitar that fits in an overhead bin or the back seat of a car. Parents shopping for a first instrument will appreciate the approachable price point and authentic Fender DNA — this is a guitar that grows with a player rather than holding them back.
