An Affordable Take on the Classic '50s Strat

Celebrate the first decade of the Fender Stratocaster, with the Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s. This vintage-style solidbody electric guitar offers the sound and style that made the Strat the iconic instrument that it is today. This updated model features many cool revisions that make it a better value than ever. It includes a trio of Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups (including standard 5-way switching) that really capture the traditional Stratocaster sound. At Sweetwater, we're particularly impressed by the Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s' 1.65" bone nut — an exceptional addition to the classic C-shaped neck and 9.5"-radius fretboard, which provides the kind of sustain and performance you don't typically find on a budget-friendly guitar.

Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s Features:

  • Includes 3 Fender-designed single-coil alnico pickups
  • 5-way blade switch lets you tap into a full range of tones
  • C-shaped maple neck provides unquestioned Strat performance
  • Standard 25.5"-scale length, 21-fret fingerboard with 9.5" radius
  • 1.65" bone nut delivers upgraded string-to-body resonance
  • 21 Narrow Tall frets are comfortable and easy to play
  • Outfitted with a Vintage-Style Synchronized Trem

Squier's Best IMO !!!!

I bought mine back in November of 2023 . I had just returned to playing after a year hiatus due to medical reasons. Seeing that these are all mass produced, There is no way IMO, that you'll get one that is perfect. When mine came in, I had to do a full setup on it in order for it to be comfortable for me to play. I have 52 years playing experience and once these are setup properly, I feel this guitar can hang with Fencer's MIM product. The finish on it is astonishing, and the stock , vintage, style tuners, keep it in tune. And seeing that the body is pine and not alder, I can get some serious sustain with it . And yes, for a Strat, it is a bit heavy, but IMO, it's all good. I plan on keeping this one for a long, time.

The Best Strat In This Price Range.

I got mine back in November and when it came in, it was in need of a setup, which I was able to do. I have been playing Strats since around 1999 and this one , once it's setup properly, can hang with the big boys. The stock vintage style tuners keep it in tune and since the body is Pine, it can be a bit heavy but IMO, that's what adds to the great tone and sustain I get from it. I'm playing it though a Fender Mustang LT 25 which I recently bought and the combination sounds great. This will probably be the last guitar I'll ever need and it's a keeper.

Amazing guitar with an even better price

I extremely impressed by this guitar. It came practically set up from the factory. I only had to intimate 2 strings and the action was playable. The frets are polished and well rounded on the sides, which no sharp edges.
This guitars color is amazing. I was really hoping it would be more "pinkish" (for a lack of a better word) and it definitely is. The fretboard has a heavy polish as well. I'd buy a squier again
