The Sonic Stratocaster is Squier's current entry-level line, ceramic pickups rather than the alnico used on pricier Squiers, aimed squarely at first-time buyers. This left-handed model mirrors the hardware layout, but handedness-specific replacement parts, string trees, some tremolo blocks, need sourcing as left-handed specific, not just a standard part installed backwards.
Tailpiece
None (bridge-integrated)
String spacing
52.4mm (2-1/16")
Scale length

View at ReverbA genuine left-handed tremolo built with the correct block geometry, not mirrored hardware. One thing to check first, this guitar's bridge is labelled vintage-style but actually uses modern spacing, and this bridge is documented slightly wider than that. Confirm the fit before buying.
This is a genuine left-handed tremolo assembly with the correct block geometry, not mirrored hardware. Despite this guitar's bridge being marketed as vintage-style, its actual spacing is the modern 52.4mm standard, while this bridge is documented at 54mm, a real difference worth checking before buying.

A genuine humbucker squeezed into the stock bridge slot. Unlike a staggered single-coil, this style of pickup works the same for left and right-handed guitars, no stagger to worry about. Bridge position only. Needs soldering.
A true dual-coil humbucker built into a single-coil-sized housing, drops into the standard Strat bridge single-coil route without any body routing, not affected by handedness. Unlike this guitar's other pickup options, this is a genuine humbucker with individually height-adjustable poles rather than a staggered single-coil, so it sidesteps the left-handed stagger question entirely. Bridge position only.

View at AndertonsFits the standard Strat pickup route regardless of handedness, but despite being a modern noiseless design, this set does use staggered poles. Check that a left-handed stagger is available before buying to avoid an uneven string balance.
Standard Strat single-coil route, not affected by handedness for mounting. Despite being a modern noiseless stacked-coil design, this set is confirmed by real owner reports to use staggered pole pieces, not flat ones, so the same right-handed-stagger-on-a-left-handed-guitar imbalance risk applies here as it does on traditional staggered single-coils.

Fits the standard Strat pickup route regardless of handedness, but this set is explicitly staggered. Check that a left-handed stagger is available before buying. You will need to solder it in.
Standard Strat single-coil route, not affected by handedness for mounting. This is explicitly a staggered-pole design by name, so a genuine left-handed stagger would need to be confirmed before buying.

Standard Strat single-coil route, not affected by handedness for mounting. Tex-Mex is a vintage-voiced, staggered-pole set, so a genuine left-handed stagger would need to be confirmed and ordered to avoid a string-balance issue. This guitar's stock ceramic pickups may well be flat-pole given typical budget-tier construction, but that has not been independently confirmed here.

A genuine left-handed tuner set from Fender, built correctly for a lefty guitar rather than a reversed right-handed part. This guitar's tuner hole size isn't published, so measure before buying to be sure.
This is Fender's genuine left-handed locking tuner set, correctly built rather than a reversed right-handed part. This guitar's exact tuner hole size is not published, being an entry-level Squier model, so bore match cannot be fully confirmed.

These tuners can be physically reversed for left-handed use, a real design feature, not a separate part number. This guitar's tuner hole size isn't published, so measure before buying to be sure.
Sperzel's Trim-Lok tuners are field-reversible between right-handed and left-handed mounting by design, so the same product serves this guitar without needing a separate SKU. This guitar's exact tuner hole size is not published though, so bore match cannot be fully confirmed.
