Description
The Classic Vibe ‘70s Stratocaster HSS nails the look of the large-headstock Strat models produced during the 1970s, creating incredible tone, courtesy of the Fender-designed alnico pickups.

Player-friendly features include a slim and 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 1970s-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tinted gloss neck finish for an old-school aesthetic vibe that is sure to inspire.

A case is sold separately.

    I've had this model now for about a year. I own 4 Stratocasters and this is the one I pick up the most. The Classic Vibe series is my favorite thing from Squier. High quality.

    Plays great. Very sleek, compact, and comfortable. No damage at all. If anything I would say they over packaged it. It came in 3 layers of cardboard with bubble wrap and Styrofoam to hold the guitar in place. Yes there is a whammy bar. 2 tone and volume interface. 1 humbucker and 2 single coil pickups. Had to do a tune up on the strings but that is to be expected. Overall 10/10

  • Good looking and sounding guitar

    Good and comfortable to use as a novice (myself), but good enough quality that it won't be too quickly "outgrown". Sounds good recorded.

    What is the thread size and diameter of the slot for the whammy bar? I'm looking to buy a replacement.

    Open Reply - Thomas
    I’m very sorry, the manufacturer has not made that information available. Perhaps an inquiry to Fender

    A lot of guitars with tremolo/vibrato bridges tend to have intonation issues…… is that the case with this one?

    Open Reply - Beau
    This guitar should not have any intonation issues.

    We do not open the boxes before shipping them, so whatever setup is on it, is from the manufacturer.
