Streamlined Hardtail with High-Output Attitude
Experience iconic Fender® style and tone with a modern twist in the compact, hardtail design of the Squier Sonic® Stratocaster® HT H. Built for players who want the classic Strat vibe without the tremolo system, this model offers rock-solid tuning stability and a punchy, high-output sound that’s perfect for a wide range of styles.
Sleek, Lightweight Design
Crafted from quality poplar, the Sonic® Strat HT H boasts a thin, lightweight body that not only looks modern but also delivers a balanced, resonant tone. Its slim, inviting “C”-shaped maple neck—with a satin urethane finish—ensures smooth playability, while the maple fingerboard (with a 9.5″ radius) and black dot inlays provide clear position markers for effortless navigation across 21 narrow-tall frets.
Hardtail Stability Meets High-Output Tone
The fixed 6-saddle top-load hardtail bridge guarantees reliable intonation and enhanced sustain, making this Strat a dependable workhorse on stage and in the studio. At the heart of its sound is a Squier® ceramic humbucking pickup in the bridge position (configured as “H”), engineered to deliver substantial, high-output tone with fat, rich crunch that cuts through any mix. With master volume and tone controls, dialing in your perfect sound is simple and intuitive.
Modern Hardware and Durable Construction
Equipped with sealed die-cast tuning machines and durable chrome-plated hardware, the Sonic® Strat HT H is built to withstand the rigors of regular gigging while retaining its vibrant aesthetic.
