Description
A celebration of the birth of the Strat® in the 1950s, the Classic Vibe ‘50s Stratocaster creates incredible tone courtesy of a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Player-friendly features include a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5”-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style tremolo system for expressive string bending effects. This throwback Squier model also features 1950s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.
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 tone wood, 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.
