Squier by FENDER - Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster HT SSS Mn Shell Pink
The Stratocaster Squier Classic Vibe '50s HT Shell Pink revisits the codes of the 50s electric guitar with a retro look. Inspired by the first Stratocasters, it combines a rigid bridge with through-strings for enhanced resonance and 3 single-coil Alnico pickups designed by Fender. Its varnished maple neck, fifties-style headstock and nickel-plated hardware complete the package with a touch of nostalgia, tinged with pink. Underneath its vintage look, this guitar has a clear, incisive sound, ideal for fans of brilliant riffs and vintage vibes.
Presentation
The 3 Fender Designed AlNiCo pickups jump out at you from the very first notes. Installed in SSS configuration, they provide a wide range of vintage timbres: crystalline in neck position, snappy in bridge position, with a lovely sweetness in between. The 5-position selector lets you switch between these ambiances with a simple gesture, a bit like turning the dial on an old radio full of memories.
The Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster HT doesn't forget about playing comfort, and you can feel it as soon as your hands meet the maple neck. With its modern C-shape and 9.5" radius, it adapts to your improvisations and plucked chords without growling. The 21 narrow tall frets allow you to play with precision without feeling like you're on a miniature obstacle course. Add to that a glossy finish that smacks of vintage workshop varnish, and discreet but effective black dot markings, and you've got a Strat with retro charm but without the rigidity of a dusty archive. Picking it up is a bit like pulling out an old photo and recognising a familiar smile.
