Classic '60s-style Strat for a Song

An affordable homage to one of the most iconic electric guitars of the past 50 years, the Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '60s sports updated modern features combined with vintage-inspired appointments. The result is the sound that made the Strat a stage and studio staple for generations. With three alnico single-coil Strat pickups and essential 5-way switching, you get thick and warm Strat tone. At Sweetwater, we're particularly stoked about the addition of a bone nut to the classic "C"-shaped maple neck and 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard — something we don't normally find on such an affordable guitar. Add to that a Vintage-Style Synchronized Trem, and the Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '60s is an amazing deal.

Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster '60s 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-inch-scale length, 21-fret fingerboard with 9.5-inch radius
  • 1.65-inch 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 Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster

Had this come in a few weeks ago after ordering it back in February, and it was worth the wait, not only is a good looking guitar, but it also plays very nice, and just know that it being between the two speakers is only because I had to empty the room screw the subfloor down due to the squeaking getting bad, the stereo is now back in place...

Insane Value

I can't believe how good this guitar is for the price, after I set it up it played amazing! I had an extra EMG DG-20 set that I put in it, with a mint green pickguard and it sounds killer. I also own a 2001 Malmsteen strat and an Eric Johnson "Virginia" strat, both of which are amazing in their own right, but this little classic vibe actually holds it's own. I really enjoy playing it! As you can see in the picture, without touching the guitar, its hard to tell the difference between the poly and nitro finish, I thought it would be obvious cause there's a huge difference visually between Epiphone and Gibson finishes, but it practically looks the same (feels different though), the poly neck is actually easier to play as the nitro necks can be sticky. If you're looking for a cheap strat, this guitar can't be beat.

Squier Classic Vibe 60's Stratocaster

Fit and finish -flawless. Guitar looks great. I bought the lightest I could find; under 7lbs. It is so nice not to carry a log around. I had a Les Paul. Ugh!
I was having some episodic fret buzzing issues coming from the low e string, changed to a set of 10's. Gone.
I changed out the original white Pickguard to black. Looks better to my eye. Interesting ,the supposedly original Fender guard I replaced it with doesn't have a drilled hole in one of the screw positions. So, ...couple of things could be happening here. But not a playable issue.
The width at the nut is narrower than other guitars I own but its only made me more conscious of finger position and I personally like that. I really bought this as a practice guitar. The neck is glossed and very thin but super comfortable just the same. There is so much talk out there about fat/chunky/slim/tapered etc...this would be a great guitar for a young person with growing hands but any normal size adult hands could play this no problem. Oh, glossy necks (this guitar) vs. satin. Sure, they both work.
Tone: I play 95% of the time unplugged. But, I'm not in a band and just play for myself, learning and practicing. Tone I think is very good. Not as robust as my Les Paul but it has a lovely sound especially with the 10's. I doesn't give the blues when I'm playing the blues.
My only criticism would be the tuners and its not harsh. I work a little harder to dial in the tuning. Unlike some of my higher end guitars.
Personally, I think this guitar is worth every penny for what you get for the asking price.

Smokin' Strat!

What a great sounding guitar! I have a Fender player strat that does not come close to this guitar.The tone of the 60's vibe Squire is much richer and warm. Over all the guitar is great! Sweetwater did a wonderful job of setting up this guitar. Probably the best money I have ever spent!
