A celebration of the birth of the Strat in the 1950s, the Classic Vibe ’50s Stratocaster delivers incredible tone and authentic style. This instrument creates the quintessential early Stratocaster tone courtesy of a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups, making it an exceptional guitar for players and collectors alike. Experience the original magic of the most famous electric guitar design.
The Squier Classic Vibe ’50s Stratocaster, which is 100% designed by Fender, is a faithful tribute to the visual and sonic signatures of the 1950s-era Stratocaster models. It captures the clean, bright, and articulate voice that defined the first decade of this iconic guitar.
Classic Stratocaster tone is delivered by the trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. These pickups are voiced to provide the chime, clarity, and legendary “quack” that made the Strat famous, offering timeless versatility for blues, rock and roll, and pop music.
Player-friendly features ensure a comfortable and reliable playing experience. The guitar features a slim, comfortable “C”-shaped neck profile combined with an easy-playing 9.5″-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets for effortless playing. Performance hardware includes a reliable vintage-style tremolo system for expressive string bending effects.
Aesthetically, this throwback Squier model stands out with 1950s-inspired headstock markings, sleek vintage-tint gloss neck finish, and striking premium gold hardware, which lends a high-end, old-school vibe to the entire instrument.
