The Squier Stratocaster is an electric guitar manufactured and sold by Squier, a marque of Fender. While it is essentially a rebranded Fender Stratocaster, it does not qualify as a Strat copy, as the Stratocasters are still considered to be of original make since Squier is owned by Fender, whereas manufacturers of Strat copies do so to use the generic strat body shape that hundreds of manufacturers without any affiliation to the Fender company have used for fifty years. Squier Stratocasters, being inexpensive, are popular amongst beginner and novice guitarists.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The obvious step up on this guitar is the Seymour Duncan Designed Hot Rails pickups. These are based on the Seymour design, but manufactured overseas. The original Hot Rails pickups are the hottest, highest-output passive pickups Seymour Duncan makes. Another obvious change to the guitar's overall design is the inclusion of a 22-fret neck (as opposed to the standard 21-fret found on most Strats and Strat-copies). These two elements are enough to distinguish the guitar from a common Squier Affinity or Standard Strat, both of which typically fall into the same general price range.
