Squier Classic Vibe 50s Stratocaster MN, Black

Full Description

Fender-quality pickups

Do you like vintage tone? Because Fender is here to deliver it. They've designed the trio of single coils in the Classic Vibe '50s, so you command those authentic sparkling clucks and chimes. And with three of them to choose from, you've got a plethora of sounds to pick from.

The bridge position pickup is bright and punchy and adds a real edge to help pierce a mix. Then there's the neck pickup. Smooth and sweet, it will fatten up any note, whilst offering a decent level of sustain. And the middle pickup is the perfect balance between the two, with a twangy yet full voicing. These will help you make quality music.

Smooth playing

Luxury for your hand. This maple neck and fingerboard will work wonders for your playing. Showcasing a beautifully smooth finish, the neck will allow your hand unrestricted movement across the entire fretboard. Carved into a comfortable "C" shape profile, it'll feel natural to hold and enables you to play for hours on end without fatigue.

And the fingerboard is just as accommodating. Its sleek feel lets your fingers manoeuvre over the board at speed, helping you add tempo to solos and melodies. The maple wood itself adds even more brightness to your tone, letting you unleash the full potential of every note.

Vintage vibrato goodness

A bona fide bridge. To complete the period accurate feel, the Classic Vibe '50s hosts a 6-saddle vintage-style bridge. Offering superb string stability for reliable tunings, and easy control over your intonation, it's going to give you a consistent performance.

It's not just about stability though, because you can add in musical flair to your songs through the whammy bar. This whammy bar is a tow point synchornised tremolo, so you'll enjoy a responsive action without a negative affect on your tuning. Complete with nickel-plated hardware, an old-school finish, and a sleek, classy pickguard, the '50s Stratocaster beams with quality – and an affordable price tag.
