This Squier Classic Vibe Series Stratocaster is very well set up and is a blast to play. The neck profile feels comfortable in hand. The pickups in this guitar sound great and deliver some very spanky Stratocaster sounds. The Fiesta Red finish is attractive and looks great with the single ply white pickguard. This series of guitars offers vintage feel and sound with extremely good playability and classic Stratocaster looks for a fraction of the price. This is our favorite series offered by Squier. The majority of the 50s models that we've had at the shop have been outstanding and this one is no exception.
From the manufacturer: 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.
