Construction

Squier have loaded up the Classic Vibe ‘50s Strat with all the mojo you’d expect while keeping the price point accessible. For the body, they’ve opted for pine. Not a common tonewood, pine is lightweight and durable, ensuring comfy playability and long-lasting resonance.

For the neck, it’s the classic maple construction with a "C" shape 9.5” radius. This echoes the early Strat models in terms of looks, feel and sound while retaining some contemporary comforts, ticking all the boxes.

Sound

Expect incredible tone courtesy of a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Alnico magnets provide classic twang, perfectly complemented by the treble-friendly maple neck.

To round it all off with old-school class, Squier add a vintage-style tremolo system, ‘50s-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish. Classic Vibe indeed!
