SQUIER STRATOCASTER HH
Squier Contemporary
Series Guitars
Fender has introduced the Squier Con-
temporary Series, which includes Stra-
tocaster and Telecaster electric guitars
with an updated modern look, feel, and
sound. This is the first new series added
to the Squier lineup in several years.
The Squier Contemporary Series
models feature a modern design
aesthetic and metallic finishes comple-
menting other contemporary features.
Components include chrome pickup
covers, matching painted headstocks,
and zebra pickup bobbins on select
models. Squier offers active pickups
on the Contemporary Active Strato-
caster HH, which also features a reverse
headstock and a dual-locking Floyd
Rose tremolo system that can handle
extreme vibrato while maintaining tun-
ing stability.
The slim C-shaped maple neck
gives the guitars a smooth feel, while
the 12-in. fingerboard radius and jumbo
frets are ideal for speed and bends. All
of the models feature ceramic pickups
for versatility across musical genres. On
the Contemporary Stratocaster HSS,
there are also dual ceramic humbucking
pickups and ceramic single-coil neck
and middle pickups.
