The Fender Japan Junior Collection Stratocaster® is an excellent choice for beginners and young players just starting their musical journey. With a 24 - inch scale, it combines the classic Fender look with enhanced playability. The shorter 24 - inch scale makes chord - pressing a breeze and reduces finger strain. Its compact body, scaled down to about 94%, along with a new body cavity design, results in a lighter guitar. The all - new Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Stratocaster® pickups produce bright and authentic Fender Stratocaster® tones. Vintage - type tuners and a two - point tremolo bridge with vintage - style saddles ensure stable tuning. Specifications include a Stratocaster® body shape made of basswood with a gloss polyester finish, a modern 'C' neck profile, a maple fretboard with a 9.5' (241 mm) radius, 22 narrow tall frets, black dot inlays, three Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Stratocaster® pickups, a 2 - point synchronized tremolo bridge, a 3 - ply eggshell pickguard, nickel - plated steel strings (.009 -.042 gauges), vintage - style tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and it comes with a gig bag.
Using your Fender Japan Junior Collection Stratocaster is easy. First, tune it up using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can start strumming simple chords right away thanks to the 24 - inch scale that makes it easier on your fingers. When playing, experiment with the three Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Stratocaster® pickups to get different tones. The 2 - point tremolo bridge allows you to add some cool vibrato effects. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the wood and affect the tuning. If you need to change the strings, use the same nickel - plated steel strings of.009 -.042 gauges. Store your guitar in the included gig bag when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust.
