The Squier® Contemporary Stratocaster® HH FR brings modern features and bold aesthetics to an iconic Fender platform to satisfy today's most discerning and daring players.

At the heart of this guitar is a pair of Squier SQR™ Atomic™ humbucking pickups whose 5-way switch includes coil-tap options for versatile single-coil tones in the 2nd and 4th positions. The roasted maple neck was chosen for its optimal tone and stability, and a sculpted heel design allows for improved access all the way to the 22nd fret. High-performance components round out the feature list and include a double-locking tremolo by Floyd Rose® for rock-solid bends, and a set of sealed-gear tuning machines with split shafts for smooth tuning action and easy restringing. Eye-catching styling cues include stealthy black hardware and a sleek painted headstock with chrome logos for a premium look.

This was a spontaneous, 5 minute purchase made on my lunch break. I was looking for something sinister looking. What I got is a absolutely wonderful guitar that feels like night jazz. It has a very special organic feel to it, the roasted maple fretboard looks and even feels, like suntanned skin. Excellent overall quality, great tone, comfortable and balanced, the colour is like the ocean at night. Also I have been playing it for over 3 months and still have not had to tune it at all. Just an amazing guitar. I love it.

I can't believe this guitar was 629 bucks Plays and sounds fantastic. The Floyd Rose is an equivalent to the Floyd Rose Special (it's the exact same). The pups (Fender designed) are pretty good & not sure if I'll even upgrade them. The guitar came perfectly setup the frets ends etc. all good. Nice paint job nice metallic Gunmetal and the headstock has a nice chrome Logo. I'm surprised this was crafted in China, the intonation, action was perfect they've really stepped up their game. Thanks L&M!

A decent Floyd AND a thick chunky satin neck? I'm one of the few that really enjoy that combo.. The roasted maple neck and fretboard is just icing on the cake. Still, I have low expectations, but the Floyd Rose Special (not licensed) is amazingly stable, and the overall fit and finish is great. Polished and nicely finished frets. And I love the switching setup. Still, I was expecting that I'd want to swap the pickups... but they are not bad at all, can even get very nice clean tones out of it, while the bridge pickup pairs nicely with gain. It's almost cliché at this point to rave about China-made Squiers, but I've never gotten alone with the Classic Vibe series (thin glossy necks...). This, this I like. BUT, you'll be disappointed if you're into thin "wizard" necks.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
