Vintage Style, Hot Custom Tone!

The Squier® Vintage Modified Stratocaster® HSS offers some new twists on a classic design, giving you a vintage-style instrument with some decidedly modern, "custom-style" tweaks.

Reviews

a very satisfied consumer

by Russell Barrett from Kansas City, Ks USA

Music Background: Advanced Beginner
I am very satisfied with the guitar I purchased. It is everything I had hoped for. I had a silvertone guitar which is no comparison to my Squire. It plays well looks good and I find that chords I was ... read more [+]having some trouble playing are much eaiser to play. The finish is nice including the black of the guitar and the highly polished finish of the the neck and the headstock. close [-]

This is one sweet guitar!

by Simpson Desbonne from USA

Music Background: Pro Musician
OK, I confess to actually trying, in good conscience, to rate this guitar at less than 5 starts, and I just couldn't.
I am playing this through a Zoom G2 straight into my PA. It sounds phenomen... read more [+]al. The neck is fast, and the humbucker really screams. I play jazz, bossa nova, R&B, and rock, and this guitar handles all of those styles easily. I can go from a smooth jazzy tone on the neck pickup to a distorted rock sound on the humbucker.
Between this guitar and the Zoom G2 I can get any sound I need, and at a nice price point. The Zoom G2 has an acoustic guitar amp emulation which just sparkles with this guitar on any of the single-coil pickup settings.
BTW, I own seven guitars, including a Gibson SG, an Ibanez AF 105NT, and an Ibanez RG 550. I have lately been playing this guitar more than any of the others. It is very versatile.
The fit and finish is great...really nice quality work.
My only caveat is: do not use heavy gauge strings on this guitar. Stick to .09 or .10 high E.
