The Perfect Strat for Beginners, Kids, and Travelers

The Squier Mini Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar makes a great instrument for beginners, younger players, and travelers. This 3/4-size guitar might look cute, but it’s also capable of becoming a tone monster when you plug it in. Like its big brother, the Squier Bullet, the Mini Strat uses three single-coil pickups, volume and tone controls, and 5-way pickup switching to give you an array of great sounds. It also includes a comfortable maple neck, an Indian laurel fingerboard, and a chrome-plated hardtail bridge. It’s perfect for smaller hands and sized just right for taking on the road.

Conveniently compact

Whether you’re a parent who’s outfitting your budding rock star with a first electric guitar or a seasoned player looking for a travel-ready Stratocaster, the Squier Mini Strat is a fantastic option. The guitar’s 22.75-inch scale length makes finger stretches much easier, and little hands will love the slimmer neck profile. And the Mini Strat’s body is about three-fourths the size of a full-size Stratocaster, making it comfortable and easy to fit into overhead airplane compartments.

Big Strat tone

Like its bigger cousins, the Squier Mini Stratocaster is loaded with the bell-like tones of three single-coil pickups. This arrangement offers some of the most popular and iconic guitar tones in history. Combined with a 5-way pickup selector and volume and tone controls, you’ll be nailing the familiar tones of legendary Strat players, such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Ritchie Blackmore. You’ll find a Mini Strat in many Sweetwater employees’ personal collections for just this reason!

A Stratocaster in every way

All the refined details that have made the Stratocaster one of the most legendary instruments in history can be found on your new Mini Strat. The comfortable and familiar forearm and body contours make playing the guitar a joy, and your Strat will ring true, thanks to the Indian laurel–capped maple neck. The 6-saddle hardtail bridge allows for fantastic intonation up and down the guitar’s neck. And you’ll love the striking image cut by the Squier Mini Strat’s large ’60s-style headstock.

  • 3/4-size Stratocaster guitar — perfect for beginners and younger players
  • 3 Stratocaster single-coil pickups
  • Maple neck with Indian laurel fingerboard

Great choice for my grandson's first electric guitar - Squire Mini Stratocaster

My grandson enjoys trying to play my full size acoustic and smaller hollow-body electric but at 6 years old the necks are too big for his hands and my stings are not light enough for him. He loves to sit at his mom's piano and at his own small size real drum kit and play what ever comes to his mind. He asked his mom for a real guitar like pop pop's for Christmas and this was just the ticket. I order a Black Squire Mini Stratocaster (also comes in red and pink) from Sweetwater and had it in five days. The order process and delivery was top notch as always. I unpacked the guitar, plugged it in, and tuned it up. I had so much fun with it that I played it for an hour. Next step is to order him a Fender Champ 20. I can't wait to see his smile at Christmas and help him learn to play his own real electric guitar. The cool thing is that this 3/4 size Strat look alike looks almost identical to Eric Clapton's famous "Blackie." I printed out a picture of Eric with Blackie and put it in with his little Squire. Hey, Quinn Sullivan started playing at 4 years old so 6 is old enough to start.

I love this guitar

I am a petite person with small hands, and I think that an adult electric guitar would be far too cumbersome. However, this mini electric is the perfect size for a petite adult or child. With this guitar I am able to achieve my dream of learning guitar at an affordable price. It is easy to handle, very cute, and fun to play. I would recommend it to anyone of any age.

Amazing guitar

I love this guitar. It plays like a dream, it is perfect for people with small hands, and sounds beautiful. It does tend to go out if tune, so make sure to tune every week.
