About the Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Maple Fingerboard
The Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster pays tribute to the original 1950s Strat, giving players vintage looks and tone in an accessible guitar. It suits beginners stepping up from a first instrument as well as experienced players who want a vintage-flavored Strat for practice, recording or gigs.
Three Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups deliver the bright, clear Strat sound, from glassy cleans to snappy rhythm tones, controlled by a master volume and two tone knobs. The maple neck has a slim, comfortable "C" profile with a 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard and 21 narrow-tall frets that make chords and bends feel easy, and the vintage-style synchronized tremolo adds expressive vibrato. A bone nut and the classic 25.5-inch scale round out the feel.
The '50s details carry through to the looks: 1950s-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware, a parchment pickguard and a vintage-tint gloss neck finish give it an old-school character. A gig bag or case is not included.
What reviewers say
Guitar World, American Songwriter and Guitarist Next Door all rate the Classic Vibe '50s Strat highly for its playability, convincing vintage Strat tones and build quality for the money, and Sweetwater customers echo how versatile it is with a few knob tweaks. The common caveats are that some guitars need a setup out of the box, it isn't the best choice for heavy high-gain styles, and no gig bag is included.
Pros
- Comfortable, easy-playing slim neck
- Authentic bright, spanky vintage Strat tones
- Impressive build quality for the price
- Plays well with minimal fuss for most owners
Cons
- Some guitars need a setup to fix action or fret buzz
- Not ideal for heavy, high-gain styles
- No gig bag or case included
