Squier by FENDER - Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster HT HSS LRL Mocha
The Squier by Fender Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster HT HSS LRL Mocha captures the essence of 1970s Stratocasters with a contemporary twist. This electric guitar features a solid poplar body and a screw-in maple neck with a "C" profile, accompanied by an Indian laurel fingerboard with a 241 mm radius. Its HSS configuration, with a Fender Designed alnico humbucking bridge pickup, delivers a powerful, versatile sound. The six-bridge hardtail bridge, combined with the string-through-body design, stabilises intonation while optimising body resonance. The vintage aesthetic is evident in the high-gloss mocha finish of the body, the varnished neck and the retro-style tuners. An updated classic for those who want a seventies style with a sound that won't run out of steam.
Presentation
This Stratocaster combines three Fender Designed alnico pickups in HSS configuration, with a humbucker in the bridge and two singles in the neck and middle. This allows you to switch from a crystal-clear sound, thanks to the coil singles, to rich, dense saturation by activating the bridge pickup. The 5-position selector is easy to access, allowing you to quickly explore a varied palette of sounds. Master volume controls and 2 tone pots fine-tune your tone, bringing every note to life. The hardtail bridge with 6 bridges and string-through-body design stabilise the tuning perfectly, avoiding the usual annoyances of vibrato or tremolo.
In terms of looks, the Squier Classic Vibe '70s HT doesn't just have an aesthetic finish, it plays the vintage card with a gloss mocha polyurethane varnish that catches the light while highlighting the iconic shapes of the Strat. The vintage nickel-plated tuning machines are not only a nod to the era, but also ensure good tuning stability. The black three-ply pickguard adds a touch of contrast, while the aged white buttons accentuate the retro style. A guitar that won't go unnoticed on stage or in the corner of your living room, with that 70s aura.
Technical details such as the bent-steel bridges on the bridge and the 9.5" (241 mm) radius of the fingerboard enhance playing comfort and finger placement precision. This attention to detail turns every chord into a moment of pleasure, whether you're a beginner or an experienced amateur. The Stratocaster Classic Vibe '70s also lets you move seamlessly between different genres, from rock to blues, thanks to its natural tonal versatility and carefully thought-out ergonomics. You'll quickly feel that this guitar adapts to you, rather than the other way around.

Regular care of the Indian laurel fingerboard, using suitable products, will preserve its softness and prevent it from drying out.
This guitar is just as much for musicians looking for an instrument with a vintage look and dynamic sound, as it is for amateurs looking for a solid first model that can grow with them.
It's just as suited to improvised jams with friends as it is to more psychedelic explorations.
