Construction

Squier have loaded up the Classic Vibe ‘50s Strat with all the mojo you’d expect while keeping the price point accessible. For the body, they’ve opted for pine. Not a common tonewood, pine is lightweight and durable, ensuring comfy playability and long-lasting resonance.

For the neck, it’s the classic maple construction with a “C” shape 9.5” radius. This echoes the early Strat models in terms of looks, feel and sound while retaining some contemporary comforts, ticking all the boxes.

Sound

Expect incredible tone courtesy of a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups. Alnico magnets provide classic twang, perfectly complemented by the treble-friendly maple neck.

To round it all off with old-school class, Squier add a vintage-style tremolo system, ‘50s-inspired headstock markings, nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish. Classic Vibe indeed!

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

The Fender Strat – Stratocaster is one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made, celebrated for its sleek design, versatility, and instantly recognisable tone. Introduced in 1954, its contoured double-cutaway body, three single-coil pickups, and tremolo bridge set a new standard for comfort and sound flexibility. The Strat’s bright, expressive voice has defined countless genres, from blues and surf rock to funk and modern pop. Played by legends like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmour, the Stratocaster remains a symbol of creativity and innovation, offering players endless tonal possibilities and a timeless feel that continues to inspire generations.
