Squier

Squier at Kirstein – your entry into the Fender world

The history of Squier began long before the brands first electric guitars: its roots go back to the V. C. Squier Company, founded in 1890 and originally known for strings. Fender acquired the company in 1965. In 1982, the Squier name was introduced for guitars that made familiar Fender designs available at a more accessible price point. This close connection continues to shape the brand today. If you would also like to compare instruments and product lines from the parent brand, visit the Fender brand shop.

Sonic, Affinity and Classic Vibe: which Squier series suits you?

The Sonic Series is a natural starting point for anyone looking for a first electric guitar or bass. The range includes familiar body shapes and different pickup configurations. The Affinity Series is also aimed at developing musicians and covers numerous classic Squier and Fender concepts. If you are more interested in historically inspired instruments, Classic Vibe is well worth exploring. The series revisits designs from different Fender eras and includes both guitars and basses.

Another option is the Paranormal range, which combines familiar shapes and design ideas in less conventional ways. Alongside classic instruments, Squier therefore also offers models for musicians deliberately looking for something a little different.

Squier Stratocaster, Telecaster and offset guitars

When choosing a Squier electric guitar, body shape and pickup configuration are useful places to start. Stratocaster-style instruments can be found in Kirsteins ST Models category. Squier offers various single-coil and humbucker configurations, allowing you to explore different tonal directions within this classic guitar format.

If you prefer the straightforward Telecaster concept, explore the TL Models. Jazzmaster and Jaguar designs are also important parts of the Squier range. You can find these alongside comparable instruments in the offset guitars category. This makes it easy to browse directly by your preferred body style instead of searching through the entire guitar range.

Precision Bass, Jazz Bass and PJ basses from Squier

Many Squier basses are also based on familiar Fender designs. The Precision Bass is one of the central classics in the range. Suitable models and comparable instruments can be found directly among the P-Basses. The Jazz Bass, by contrast, uses two J-style pickups and allows different blends of the two pickup signals. Kirstein has a dedicated J-Basses category for this type of instrument.

Another option is a bass with a combined P/J pickup configuration. These instruments combine a P-style pickup with a J-style pickup and can be found across various bass ranges, including Squier models. The PJ-Basses category makes direct comparison easier. Players who prefer a more compact scale length can also explore shortscale electric basses, where Squier models such as the Mini Precision Bass and Bronco Bass can also be found.

Squier for beginners, lessons and your first band

If you do not yet have the necessary equipment, a complete bundle can be a practical way to get started. Squier instruments are also available at Kirstein in sets that, depending on the bundle, may include an amplifier, gig bag, cable, strap, tuner or other accessories. Guitarists can therefore explore the electric guitar bundles, while aspiring bass players can browse the electric bass bundles. For lessons, music school or first rehearsals, a suitable set can simplify the process of choosing the essential equipment.
