This means they are the only brand that can copy Fender guitars completely, because they are part of the patent. The difference between Fender and Squier guitars is mostly in where they are produced.

The Sonic Series

Squier announced the arrival of the Sonic series at NAMM 2023. This series is considered the successor to their Bullet series. Just like the Bullet guitars, the Sonic guitars are solid-body beginner electric guitars. These guitars are a reliable option within the lowest price category. The Sonic series is even more extensive than the Bullet series, as they also produce lesser-known guitars, such as the Esquire and the Mustang. The guitars are also made in more unique colours.

The Sonic Stratocaster

The Sonic Stratocaster is of course based on the legendary Stratocaster. This Sonic Stratocaster is a standard version, which means it’s got three single-coil pickups. The body of the guitar is made of poplar, which is a lightweight tonewood which produces a balanced sound. Both the neck and the fretboard are made of maple, which is a great and sustainable combination.

Fender

Fender was founded in 1946 by Clarence Leonidas ‘Leo’ Fender.

Nowadays Fender has a huge assortment of different basses and guitars, with different sounds, colours, and prices, so that they have something for everyone. Consequently, they remain one of the most popular guitar brands today!

The Player Series

Fender developed the Player series specifically for beginning musicians and musicians with a relatively low budget. The Fender Player guitars and basses are made in Mexico and measure up to Fender’s American-made guitars quite well. The instruments are also very versatile and are even suited for recording and gigs. The Player guitars are thus more affordable versions of the popular Fender models. Consequently, they also feel and sound like a Fender guitar. However, the Player models are relatively standard, Fender did not add any unique modifications or special additions to the guitar. All models have Alnico pickups and are available in different colours.

The Player Mustang ‘90

The Mustang was introduced by Fender in 1964. The guitar didn’t gain much traction and the production was seized only a few years later. In the ‘90s the Mustang became popular in the grunge scene, so Fender rereleased the Mustangs. The Fender Player Mustang is inspired by the ‘90s model, which means it has amazing P90 pickups which can create this legendary distorted sound. P90s are also very versatile, though, because they have a great clean sound. The body of the guitar is made of alder, which is a decent tonewood which has a nice sustain. The guitar has a maple neck and a pau ferro fretboard, which is a sustainable combination and is very comfortable to play. The Player Mustang ’90 is a great guitar for a low price!

Sound possibilities

The Stadium HT Havana Brown is a solid body guitar by Godin. The shape is based on the legendary Telecaster, although the Stadium is a little rounder. The guitar has two single-coil pickups, of which one is located in the metal of the bridge. The metal gives a different resonance which adds a lot of twang to the pickup. The neck pickup articulates quite well and has a vintage tone. The hardware is also of high quality. The saddles are even made of brass, which gives the guitar a warmer sound.

Materials

The body of the guitar is made of basswood. Basswood is a softwood with a great sustain. The neck and the fretboard are made of maple, which articulates well and has a neutral appearance. The colour of the body is inspired by acoustic guitars, which is why it has a dark wooden colour, but with a semi-gloss finish. What is also quite noticeable, is that the guitar doesn’t have a pickguard. Godin managed to hide all the wiring underneath the bridge and the control plate, which gives the guitar a professional and luxurious appearance. The Stadium HT Havana Brown is an amazing and unique guitar!
