Austin Bazaar is an authorized Squier dealer.
The small Strat with giant sound, the Mini is the 3/4-size version (22.75" scale length) of the Bullet. A great first guitar for players of all ages or those with smaller hands, its also an ideal travel guitar. The comfortable "C"-shaped neck profile of this instrument (the shape of the neck in cross section) is sculpted to impart a vintage-style playing feel. The most prevalent neck profile shape, it's remarkably comfortable and is ideal for all playing styles. Features include a new thinner body and a slimmer neck profile for easy playability. Equipped with three single-coil Stratocaster pickups and five-way switching for classic Fender tones, the Mini also features improved tuning machines, a hardtail bridge, smaller strap pins and a side-mounted output jack.

Fender Quality
I have owned Squier guitars for many years. The quality for the price is unbeatable. The Mini Strat is great for beginners and pros alike. Its no toy, its has the same pickups and quality components as the full scale Bullit and Affinity Squires. Buy one, you'll be glad you did.

Unmistakable Fender Sound !
The Mini Strat I played had a flawless white finish. It was a very good looking guitar. The white finish for the Mini Strat was an exclusive finish
from Austin Bazaar.
The guitar had that classic Fender sound on all 3 pickups.
I was able to get that good "crunch" sound out of the bridge pickup and the neck and middle pickup sounded clear as a bell giving that great crisp Fender sound. The fret board is perfect for small hands but is big enough for larger hands as well making this a great beginner guitar or a travel guitar.
The one thing that I will note is that the guitar i played would benefit from a good setup. There were some minor intonation issues and the strings could be a tad lower. I have to note that even expensive guitars will come to you needing setup sometimes so this is no big deal. For the money and size the Mini Strat is a sure winner.
