Around this time last year, I was forced to completely rethink my entire outlook on single pickup electric guitars when I reviewed the Squier Sonic HT H. Having previously been a skeptic of such streamlined six-strings – and having never warmed to the punk charm of guitars with just one humbucker – I found myself falling head over heels in love with the plucky beginner electric guitar, and it quickly became my favorite pick of the bunch.
That’s why Fender’s continued Black Friday guitar deal – which slashes $60 off two limited-edition Squier Sonic HT H models – has especially caught my eye. If you’re a wisened strummer looking to branch into single pickup territory, or if you’re a beginner looking to get started on something that will serve serious Tom DeLonge vibes, you won’t find a better deal this Cyber Weekend period.
