Squier Contemporary

The Squier Contemporary series is a range of sleek, ultra-modern guitars and basses. They are suited to aggressive, high gain styles.

The Squier Contemporary range takes old vintage styles and reimagines them to create razor-sharp instruments with a stylish, edgy look. They are equipped with super hot humbuckers to provide a searing, high-output tone that will push any amp into serious overdrive. The series also includes several guitars with active pickups for a cutting distortion sound. The Contemporary Jazz Bass has ceramic pickups and an active preamp. These create a devilishly powerful tone, not for the faint of heart.

The Contemporary series is also notable for how playable these instruments are. This is thanks to a skinny neck with a flat radius and jumbo frets, meaning these guitars almost play themselves. A sculpted heel is a premium feature usually reserved for Fender’s elite American instruments but it's available here in Squier Contemporary guitars allowing easier access to higher frets. There is even a Floyd Rose equipped Strat for wild divebombs and perfect tuning.
