Squier have managed to equip their 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 commonly used as a tonewood, it’s 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 comfrots – ticking all the boxes.
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!
