Classic vibe with modern refinements.

The Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60s is a rough and tumble electric guitar ready for almost any musical situation. Coming in 3-Color Sunburst over alder, this rosewood fingerboard 2- fret vintage tint gloss maple neck guitar definitely has that 60s vibe but with the modern playability of a 9.5" neck radius and medium jumbo frets. 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.

Classic Vibe!
Back in 1982, the very first Squier by Fender guitars and basses came ringing out of Asia. Known for their excellent vintage-quality look, feel, sound and construction, those early Squier instruments and their Fender branded counterparts are now highly sought-after collector's items revered by guitar enthusiasts as models of "getting it right" while aiming at value-conscious players. The Squier Classic Vibe Series reflects that simultaneous commitment to excellence, value and vibe'. Mirroring classic Fender designs, the Classic Vibe offering is not intended to be era or vintage correct but rather imparting the vibe' of a classic Fender design. Each with distinctive feature set combinations all adding up to one classic looking instrument. Great sound, vintage looks, unbeatable value Classic Vibe!

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!
