A Classic Vibe Paying Tribute to the Birth of the Stratocaster
The Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster celebrates the golden age of the first Strats, with aesthetics inspired by original models and meticulous details (nickel-plated hardware, 1-ply pickguard, vintage tint, and glossy neck finish). Within the Squier range, it stands out as an electric guitar with a particularly sought-after sound/style/price ratio, designed to capture the Fender tone while maintaining excellent playability.
Who It's For and Which Styles
This Strat is aimed both at the motivated beginner looking for a reliable and easy-to-play guitar, and the intermediate guitarist who wants a true palette of "single coil" sounds. It excels in blues, rock'n'roll, pop, funk, indie, and surf: all styles that require attack, clarity, and good right-hand response.
The Sound
The SSS configuration and three Fender-Designed Alnico single-coil pickups deliver the typical Strat character: a bright and articulate sound, with sharp attacks and great dynamics. The 5-position selector allows switching from a biting bridge pickup to a warm, singing neck pickup, while enjoying the intermediate positions with the famous "quack" ideal for funk and snappy rhythms. The Volume + 2 tone controls facilitate balancing brightness and warmth depending on the amp and playing style.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This guitar comes strung with .009-.042 strings: you can therefore choose a set of nickel steel electric strings with the same gauge to maintain the feel and balance of the tremolo. A strap with standard ends is also a simple choice for stage and rehearsals.
