Beskrivning
Allmänt
Shrugging off tradition, the Contemporary Stratocaster Special adds a little nouveau cuisine to the Squier menu, serving up a tasty, off-kilter pickup configuration blended with ultra-modern switching, all coated in a slick paint-job with matching headstock. Three slanted Squier SQR Alnico single-coils come mounted, but the mid-pickup has been shifted down to nestle next to the bridge pickup, building a thick, humbucker style foundation sound when they’re placed in series in position 1. Flip the selector switch into position 3 and the middle and neck pickups are placed in parallel, then shift up to position 4 and unleash all three pickups at once.
The Contemporary Stratocaster Special: High Playability
The good people of Squier have gifted this unique model with a roasted maple neck, which doesn’t just look great, but ensures enhanced stability. The modern C-profile has been coated in a butter-smooth layer of satin-gloss for a fast and gliding playing feel, while in a further departure from the standard Strat-style, the Contemporary has a flatter 12″ fretboard radius which couples with a set of 22 jumbo frets for superior comfort. Meanwhile, a tried-and-tested two-point synchronised tremolo bridge with block saddles has been mounted for classic and expressive, whammy-bar steered vibrato effects.
