Comfortable Playability with a Classic Feel

The Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster is designed for players who love the feel of a vintage instrument but want modern playability. The slim, C-shaped neck profile provides a comfortable grip, while the 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard and narrow-tall frets offer smooth playability for chords and solos alike. The vintage-tint gloss neck finish not only looks great but also provides a slick, comfortable feel under your hand. This combination of features ensures that the Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster is as enjoyable to play as it is to hear.

Versatile Pickup Configuration for Any Style

Equipped with three Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups, the Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. The 5-way pickup selector switch allows you to access everything from bright, biting bridge pickup tones to warm, mellow neck pickup sounds. With two tone controls—one for the neck pickup and one for the bridge/middle pickups—you can fine-tune your sound to fit any musical style. From clean, glassy tones to rich overdrive, this Strat is ready to cover any genre with ease.

Vintage-Style Tremolo for Expressive Playing

The Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster features a 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo, providing smooth and reliable performance for expressive string bending and vibrato effects. This classic bridge design ensures excellent intonation and allows you to add subtle pitch variations or dramatic dive-bombs to your playing. Paired with vintage-style tuning machines, this Stratocaster offers both stability and the iconic feel that has made the Strat a favorite for decades.

Built to Last with Quality Components

Constructed from high-quality tonewoods, the Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster combines a nato body with a maple neck, delivering a balanced tone that’s perfect for any musical setting. The bone nut and nickel-plated hardware add durability and sustain, ensuring that your guitar will keep sounding great for years to come. With its gloss polyurethane body finish and classic black color, this Stratocaster is as visually striking as it is sonically impressive, making it a standout choice for players who appreciate classic style and modern quality.
