Get to know them!





Nothing says “rock” like a single-pickup 6-string! Squier’s Affinity Series Stratocaster H HT is an exceptionally no-nonsense take on the classic Strat formula, loaded with a single bridge-position ceramic humbucker voiced by Fender’s in-house team to cover both rich, fat cleans and screaming high-gain power. The lightweight poplar body sports a hardtail bridge for maximum tuning stability ? a favorite feature of many Sweetwater guitarists for its additional ability to enhance resonance and sustain. Finally, the Indian laurel-on-maple neck’s comfortable “C”-shape neck, medium-jumbo frets, and modern 9.5-inch radius give this Strat a high-performance edge that sets the Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster H HT apart from the crowd.





Hard-hitting ceramic humbucker





Who needs three pickups, anyway? This Strat is loaded with a single bridge-position ceramic humbucker that’s ready to dish out some high-octane riffage. Combined with the hardtail bridge, the Affinity Series Stratocaster H HT is about as utilitarian as a guitar can get, purpose built for crunchy rhythm tones and sweet, singing lead playing. Plus, this pickup was voiced in-house at Fender to excel at a wide variety of genres, sporting a wide and rich tone that perfectly slots into any sonic situation!





Neck designed for fast, comfortable playing





Made from solid maple and capped with an Indian laurel fingerboard, the neck on Squier's Affinity Series Stratocaster H HT is designed to deliver a powerful, robust tone. The 21 medium jumbo frets provide you with added playing comfort, so you can continue for hours without hand fatigue. A fast-playing neck is vital whether you're taking the lead or playing the rhythm, and Squier understands that. The Affinity Series Stratocaster H HT features a neck and fingerboard that ensure you'll never want to put it down.
