Fender's Japan - made Junior Collection Stratocaster® is a perfect choice for entry - level players and young beginners. With a 24 - inch scale, shorter than the norm, it's a breeze to play chords and eases finger fatigue when pressing strings. The compact body, scaled down to about 94%, along with a new body cavity design, reduces weight for enhanced playability. The all - new Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Stratocaster® pickups deliver that classic, bright Fender tone. Vintage - style tuners and a two - point tremolo bridge with vintage - style saddles ensure excellent tuning stability. Specifications include a Stratocaster body shape in Satin Vintage White Basswood, a Rosewood fretboard with a 9.5' (241 mm) radius and 22 frets, white dot inlays, Junior Collection Modified Single Coil pickups, a 2 - point synchronized tremolo bridge, a 3 - ply mint green pickguard, nickel - plated steel strings, vintage - style tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware finish, and it comes with a gig bag.
Using your Fender Japan Junior Stratocaster is easy. First, make sure your guitar is properly tuned using the vintage - style tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier and start strumming chords or playing melodies. Since it has a shorter 24 - inch scale, it's very beginner - friendly, so don't be afraid to experiment with different chord shapes. When you're done playing, put it back in the gig bag to protect it from dust and scratches. For maintenance, wipe the body with a soft cloth regularly to keep the satin polyester finish looking great. Check the strings every few weeks, and replace them when they start to sound dull or show signs of wear. Also, make sure the bridge and tuners are tightened properly to maintain good tuning stability.
