Pink Mini Strat

The best thing about this little guitar is the color, but I am pretty happy that I don't have to hand over a guitar to 9 year old with a tremolo.  Thank the gods for a hardtail bridge!  My daughter really wanted to buy a Stratocaster with a whammy bar for her friend, but shame on Fender (and Ibanez) for making all those full-size, entry-level instruments with el-cheapo tremolo assemblies.  Effectively turn a serviceable first guitar into a doorstop in the first 5 minutes a kid is fucking around with it.  Genius!  (The short-scale Ibanez my daughter has--fixed bridge on that badboy as well--is much nicer of an instrument than this Squier, but now at least the can both try different guitars.)
