The Japan - made Junior Collection Stratocaster® is a top - notch choice for new players and young beginners. It features a classic Fender look with a 24 - inch scale. The shorter 24 - inch scale makes chord - pressing a breeze and eases the strain on your fingers. The compact body, reduced to about 94% of the regular size, along with a new body cavity design, cuts down on weight, offering enhanced playability. The all - new Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Stratocaster® pickups produce that bright, iconic Fender Stratocaster® tone. Vintage - type tuners and a two - point tremolo bridge with vintage - style saddles keep your tuning stable. Specifications include a Stratocaster® body shape made of basswood with a satin 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 with vintage - style stamped steel saddles, a 3 - ply black pickguard, nickel - plated steel strings (.009 -.042 gauges), vintage - style tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and comes with a gig bag.
Using your Fender Japan Junior Collection Stratocaster Electric Guitar is easy. First, make sure your guitar is in tune using the vintage - style tuning machines. You can plug it into an amplifier and start strumming chords or playing melodies. When you want to add some vibrato, use the two - point tremolo bridge. For the best sound, experiment with the different pickups. Keep your guitar in a dry and clean place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dust. When changing the strings, use the same nickel - plated steel strings (.009 -.042 gauges) for consistent sound. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to reduce stress on the neck. And always carry it in the provided gig bag to protect it from scratches and bumps.
