Mini Stratocaster, Laurel Fingerboard, Black

Product Information

Even though this mini Stratocaster is a 3/4 scale guitar, yes, adults can definitely play them just like a full-scale guitar. An electric guitar is a great place to start if you're learning because of its amp and effects options. The ability to plug into an amp, switch up your sound and experiment is beneficial to finding your style. The design of these guitars contributes to your comfort while playing, having a contoured body with light strings that won’t hurt your fingers as much as an acoustic. Its size is well-suited for those with smaller hands or for children, making it a lot easier to play.

I can honestly say that through a bigger amp, it sounds just like a regular Stratocaster. Of course, parents looking for a guitar for their children will probably buy a small practice amp, which is perfectly fine as well.

I mean you could with the right amp and effects, but it would look a bit silly.

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.

I really do hope it helps others interested in the Squier Mini Jazzmaster, I've been as honest as possible with every detail of my experience in purchasing one of these guitars for my son to learn with.

Rewind to January and the Winter NAMM show, which seems like a lifetime ago now! One of the coolest(and fun) product announcements I saw was from Squier, introducing another classic shape to their 'mini' series, with my beloved Jazzmaster! I was incredibly keen to see these hit UK shores as our young son loves to strum the guitars in the house. Needless to say though, he finds it incredibly difficult to sit with the full sized counterparts, so I have been on the lookout for a 'mini' 3/4 or 1/2 sized guitar for him to have a go with. Inspiring a young person to want to play an instrument is such an important thing to me, and I must say, Miles has known many guitar-savvy words from a very early age, 'Jazzmaster' being one of them, so this little mini version was the perfect fit!
