This Squier Strat's tone is thick with a custom set of AlNiCo V single-coil pickups a quick attack with a bit more midrange oomph and a bridge pickup that packs a knockout punch! Custom stagger pole pieces provide improved string-to-string balance.

Fantastic guitar!!!

I just picked up this model and am very impressed.I own and have played many Strats in different price ranges.I can really say that this is one great guitar at a fantastic price.The workmanship is flawless.The contours are sanded very smoooth and round(just like the original 60's ones).They use alder for the body wood(the same as the more expensive models)and mine is quite light.The acoustic tone is very resonant and even across the eq spectrum.Plugged in,all the classic Strat colors are there.They even use alnico 5 magnets and what looks like fiber bobbins for the pickups(not typical in this price range!).The sunburst finish is perfect.I swapped the brownshell pickguard for a mint green one(I prefer that look to my taste).The playability is great as well due to the 9.5 radius and large frets.This Strat has a lot of charisma.It combines good quality materials and workmanship with a cool 'cheap' appeal you sometimes find only in cheaper guitars(like old Danelectros for example).I love expensive guitars but this is proof that you don't need to spend a lot these days to get a professional guitar.This model was introduced because the early squiers of the 80's are now becoming collectors items so now Fender is trying to satisfy that market.In the day,they were considered by some to be superior to the U.S. made models(in the C.B.S. era).Guitar snobs might overlook this Strat because of the Squier name...that is their loss!

Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60's is Better than you think!

This is the best Stratocaster I have ever played. I have owned a USA made, MiM and the old Squier Stratocasters and this is one HELL of a Squier Sratocaster. I really like playing it the neck is smooth and the fret edges are not sharp it is a dream to play on this neck. The pickups are nice and hot Alnico V magnets and the tone of the strat really shines through. I am really amazed at how great this guitar sounds and the quality. If you want a Strat and want to save some coin for other guitar stuff this one is it! This is not a toy this is a true Fender in disguise!
