The Squier Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster solidbody electric guitar brings you true Stratocaster tone, looks, and feel at a great value. Despite its affordable price, it offers more than you may expect, including a real bone nut and Fender-designed alnico pickups. Everything you need for a genuine Stratocaster experience is here, from the player-favorite "C" neck shape to the vintage-style tremolo bridge. And its narrow tall frets offer the feel of a classic Strat. Whether it's your first Strat or your 50th, Music Experience is sure you'll be impressed with the Squier Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster.
These Fender-designed single-coil Strat pickups feature alnico magnets for that signature Strat snap. A humbucking pickup in the bridge position gives you access to lead tones with impressive punch and girth. And with a five-position blade, Master Volume, and two tone controls, you have a wide array of sounds to dial in, and near-infinite stylistic colorings to explore across genres.
The "C"-shaped maple neck on this Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster sets a great foundation for practically any style of player. We know that the feel of a neck is one of the most subjective parts of a guitar, but it's worth noting that even seasoned Strat players are impressed with this neck. It's everything you need to make you fall in love with that distinctive Strat feel, the one that players like Clapton fell in love with.
Squier's tapped into something really cool with their Classic Vibe series — hot mods of classic Fenders, all sporting top-shelf materials and components, with primo fit-and-finish. If you're a guitarist or bassist, you'll likely agree that vintage Fender guitars and basses are heavily lusted-after items, so it's great that Fender, in their infinite wisdom, have set their Squier subsidiary free to create hot-rodded and affordable versions of the classics.
