Play Comfortably for Hours With a Slim C Neck
The Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster features a slim, comfortable maple neck with a vintage-tint gloss finish. Its C-shaped profile is perfect for chord strumming or fast lead playing, with a 9.5" fingerboard radius that feels smooth and fast. The narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend notes, while the smooth finish lets your hand glide up and down the neck. Whether you're playing at home, in the studio or on stage, the Stratocaster's slim, contoured neck provides hours of playing comfort.
Get Bell-Like Strat Tone from Alnico Pickups
This Squier Stratocaster uses a trio of Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups to recreate the sweet, singing tone that made the Strat famous. The neck pickup has a warm, round sound that's great for jazz and blues. The middle pickup adds snap and presence for cutting through the mix. The bridge pickup provides clear, ringing treble tones perfect for solos. With the 5-way blade switch you can blend the pickups, going from sparkling treble to robust warmth. No matter what tones you're chasing, these pickups serve up classic Stratocaster sound.
Express Yourself with a Vintage-Style Tremolo
Just like the original Stratocasters of the 1950s, the Squier Classic Vibe '50s model features a vintage-style tremolo bridge. This lets you add shimmering pitch effects, from gentle warbling to dive bombs, to make your playing more expressive. Combined with the sweet tone of the alnico pickups, it gives you an inspiring palette for creative musical ideas. The vintage bridge design also provides excellent tuning stability even with heavy use of the tremolo arm.
Quality Components and Craftsmanship
From its gloss finish to its nickel-plated hardware, the Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster is made to last. It features a solid pine body, providing resonance without excessive weight. The vintage-style tuners keep it in tune through dynamic performances. Thoughtful touches like the vintage headstock markings give it that coveted vintage mojo. For guitarists who want the style and sound of a classic Strat without the vintage price tag, the Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster hits all the right notes.
