Squier by FENDER - Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster HT SSS Mn Surf Green
Squier pays tribute to the early days of the Strat with the Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster HT Surf Green. Featuring a trio of Fender AlNiCo pickups and a fixed through-string bridge, this electric guitar crafts a biting sound that's firmly rooted in the roots of '50s rock. Its iconic Stratocaster shape conceals a nato construction and screwed maple neck that combine stability and attack. The tinted varnish, retro lettering on the headstock and nickel-plated hardware complete the vintage look. A guitar designed to bring back the flavour of a bygone era, without the dust.
Presentation
When it comes to pickups, don't panic: the Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster HT isn't afraid to raise its voice. With its three simple Fender-designed AlNiCo coils, each position of the 5-step selector tells a different story, but they all have one thing in common: clarity. From a twangy twang to a crystalline slam, the tone is full-bodied and articulate, always ready to invite itself into your riffs.
The fixed bridge with 6 steel bridges and through strings isn't there to look pretty (although we admit it does that very well). It ensures stable intonation, increased resonance and, to put it another way: your strings stop playing hide-and-seek with the sustain. It's a feature you'll find indispensable from the very first time you pick it up. And if you've ever known a time when you swore at every detunement, this configuration sets the record straight. Here, you tune, and you play. Full stop.
Finished in Surf Green, this Squier guitar is as stylish as the Aged White buttons. The parchment pickguard, nickel-plated hardware and vintage tuners complete a coherent, sober and effective whole. Without falling into the trap of a museum reconstruction, it recreates a typical aesthetic without locking you into a single musical style.

A tube amp like the Fender Blues Junior would be a good partner for this guitar, as would a light compressor to refine the attack of the single coils. And if you're looking for a sound complement, a Telecaster Classic Vibe will enrich your arrangements with a drier but just as assertive grain.
