Everything that makes a Strat a Strat
Like many Strats that have come before, the Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s sports an alder body with a period- correct 2-color sunburst finish. The traditional maple neck is tinted to resemble a vintage Strat neck with a maple fingerboard. The long-familiar Strat tone is managed with a trio of single-coil pickups powered by alnico III magnets for clear, bright Strat tones with the perfect amount of sustain. A vintage-style synchronized tremolo rounds out the feature set.

Unique touches
Squier's Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s is also equipped with the features modern players demand. The maple neck is loaded with player-favorite medium-jumbo frets on a modern 9.5" radius neck. Aged plastic parts lend a vintage vibe to the aesthetics, and black dot position markers run the length of the neck.

Ok,this review is from a bass player that plays semi proffesionaly,who also plays rythm guitar in the group I play in. I have been playing since 1965 so I think I know a quality instrument when I play... read more [+] it. This is a really nice playing guitar and I really love the smooth maple neck with no sharp fret edges.This has to be the nicest,smoothest neck I have ever played on.Pickups are somewhat bright but nail the stratocaster sound.What first caught my eye was the matching candyapple red headstock. Really eye catching. Finish was perfect .Also Sweetwater has to have the best customer service I have ever seen. They will certainly get more of my buisness. Idon't think you will be dissapointed with this guitar. close [-]

I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional. I have never been treated with such thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly service from any of the music companies located in Saint Louis, MO.
