Im taking a chance here , i know it wont probably change a thing as they are hard to find . But if by any chance you had one for your child which grew up or just one sitting around in the house .

im looking for a Fender stratocaster JR ( this is a model made in mexico in 2004 , most probably black with rosewood ) , its a 3/4 strat ( 22.5 scale lenght ) and small body strat . its mostly for "child" but i have small fingers and would like to grab one .

i currently own heavy modified squier mini , but im looking for a real fender stratocaster JR .

my price would be around 350-400 $ if the guitar is in good condition .

So if you see one in a pawn shop or anywhere .

im desperatly looking for that guitar . they never show up on ebay .

thank you .

I used to have a 'Fullerton" Strat Jr that was a 3/4 scale with a single pickup and built in 5w amp and small speaker. It was more of a novelty guitar and I eventuallly sold it.

I think I saw them in Sam Ash. Try one of their stores or web site you might find them there.

I have one for sale. It's black. Made in Mexico. One of the first ones made. Like new except where the sticker was on the pickguard. I am going to list on Ebay unless someone wants to buy. I will have to have $400. I will sell through PayPal or anyway to make the buyer more comfortable. Email at dhalfacre@cox.net

Strat JR search :


recently i grabbed one .. paid 400 $ and more for it . they are really rare . truth is its not that much better than the little Squier mini . I also have a mini and the quality , the smoothest of the neck etc.. is pretty similar . its not a Night and day difference like my fender u.s stratocaster ( full size )


the Fender stratocaster Jr is kinda deceiving for the price they sell . the neck is nothing like a MIM strat or U.S strat , its more like a squier mini ... a little better but nothing to justified the price gap .

I have a squeir mini with Fender locking keys , seymour duncan humbucker , new hardtail bridge , new bone nut etc.. .. thats what you should do .. get a little mini for 50 $ used or 99 $ new and change everything .

The body is better on the mexican strat jr vs the cheap squier mini . its heavier and made of alder .

I guess the neck was my biggest disappointment is the fender strat jr . im still gonna put a single coil size humbucker and locking tuners on it , but imo wasnt worth the 400 $ your gonna pay now to get one .

but i expect a better quality neck and fingerboard .

still im happy i have one . :)

might go for a epiphone Les Paul Express now and upgraded it . I just love 3/4 scales guitar .

If they don't have them at the GC or Musiciansfriend, they may have them at some of the mom and pop guitar repair stores or stores that sell used guitars. Best to play them first to check out the condition on any used stuff.

I have one in Torino Red. The neck feels pretty good to me. I don't have a Squier Mini, but I can say that the intonation of the Fender Strat is just about perfect, and have read numerous complaints about intonation issues with the Squier. In fact the person that I bought mine from had originally purchased the Squier, and returned it after a week to buy the fender instead - which she hung on to for the last 6 or 7 years. She also added a 2nd tone knob so that it really is more like a small sized Strat.

I really like it.
