It is an exhibition of only the guitar body. The STS uses the same short scale (610mm) as the Mustang and Jaguar, and the body is also reduced from the regular size Stratocaster to match the scale reduction. When you hold it, it feels quite small. In the mid-1980s, immediately after the establishment of Fender Japan, the SST314, a medium-scale (628mm) strat that is shorter than a general strat, was released under the Squier brand as a model exclusively for the domestic market. However, the STM was released with a reduced neck size, and a few years later the STS was released with a shorter scale and a smaller body size, but did the STS not sell as well as the STM? Production ended in a short period of time, so it is now a fairly rare model. The biggest feature of this guitar is that it uses the same 24 inch / 610 mm scale as Mustang, which is about 3 cm shorter than a general strat, and the body has been reduced to match the scale reduction ratio. If you stand in front of the mirror with a standard sized Strat hanging from your shoulders and feel like a child wearing your dad’s suit (like I do), then this guitar is for you. If you hang from your shoulder and stand in front of a mirror, it will look well balanced. In terms of playability, the neck width at the nut position is about 41mm, which is 2 to 3mm narrower than a general strat, and a thin neck is used, making it easy for people with small hands and women to play. In addition, since the scale is short, the feeling of tension is weakened, and when you switch from a normal strat, you can easily push the strings during bending and tight fingering, and you will fall into the illusion that you have improved. In addition, the heel-less neck joint makes it easy to play even at high frets.
