Squier electric guitars are a familiar presence to millions of guitarists and are often the first electric guitar of many.

The Squier Mini Strat is a full-blooded Strat. Ideal for younger beginners or players with smaller hands, the Mini Strat is a 3/4 size version of the incredibly popular Bullet Strat. Naturally, you wouldn’t play the Squier Mini at a gig. I mean you could with the right amp and effects, but it would look a bit silly.

What Makes Our Sales Engineers Great?

The guitar’s hardware design and finish are quite sturdy and reliable in my opinion. All in all, the guitar looks and feels durable, which is a must for children who tend to bang their guitars. Impeccable Fit for Tiny Hands The looks of a guitar is important for children (and adults of course). Squier makes the Mini Strat in several colors, so your child can choose one that fits his/her personality the most.
