Description

The Squier Classic Vibe 70s Stratocaster HSS brings the iconic 1970s Strat into the modern age with premium components that make it a joy to play. Squier, a trusted brand, offers this vintage-inspired Stratocaster that looks and sounds like the real deal from over 40 years ago but with upgraded features for today's musician.

Fender-Designed Alnico Pickups Provide Authentic Stratocaster Tone

This Strat features three Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups that provide the crisp, bright tone that Strats are known for. The bridge pickup adds punch and bite, while the middle and neck pickups produce a warmer, fuller sound. With a five-way switch, you can access a variety of classic Strat tones from jangly cleans to searing leads.

Comfortable C-shaped neck with vintage gloss finish for a highly desirable aged look

The maple neck has a slim C profile that most players will find fast and comfortable. A vintage-tinted gloss finish gives it the appearance of an aged classic Strat. 21 narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend notes and play complex chords.

Vintage-Style Synchronized Tremolo Bridge Allows for Expressive String Bending

A vintage-style tremolo bridge with stamped steel saddles lets you bend notes and chords for a range of expressive effects. Tune-o-Matic style adjustment screws make it easy to adjust string height for optimum playability.

Additional Features Provide Vintage Style and Sound

Vintage-style tuning machines with nickel-plated hardware give this Strat an authentic retro look. A lightweight poplar body with an alder center block reduces feedback at high volumes. Now available at Guitar Center, the classic Strat shape is comfortable and balanced.

    This is a really great guitar I wanted to get an hss strat for a while and with the price of this guitar was a steal. A tiny little fret buzz but nothing serious I do however plan to replace the bridge hum bucket with a Seymour Duncan jb pickup to nail cobain/ b.j. Armstrong's tone though but overall a solid guitar

    Can you switch necks with say, a real Strat? Would it fit on a Squire Strat?

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    Yes you can but there's no need to. The Squier has a real Strat neck. The neck on my Squier is stunning,

    How much does this guitar weigh?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    All guitars vary depending on the density of the wood. Manufacturers usually only spec size and type of wood. Guitars are generally between 6 and 12 lbs. They can be more. The only way to know the weight of an individual instrument is to weigh it. This will be approximately 7 – 8.5 lbs.
