I bought this guitar based on the quality of the classic vibe telecaster that I own and let me tell you it did not let me down. For the price these guitars are fantastic!! The guitar plays great right out of the box, just a little tuning as with all new guitars. The setup was perfect, in fact, the action was lower than what I was used to so I figured it some of the notes would choke or fret out but that wasn't the case, they did a great job on the nut and stays in tune even with 9's. The gloss neck feels more satin and not sticky like the CV tele I have so this was another plus. The pickups sound just fine sounds like a strat. I must say I favor this guitar over my Mexican strats based on just how well the nut and fretwork are. I highly recommend this sweet little guitar.

"Since 1954 and my first Stratocaster"

and many more since then of many different models as amazing as it is to me, this Squier Classic Vibe 50's somehow creates that same chime and spanky tone that my original 54 one did.I can't tell you how but it does. The neck has that same carve and feel. The only real differences I can tell are it has a 5 way switch instead of a 3 way. Don't get me wrong, it's not exactly the same but it sure comes close. I bought the White Blonde one and it sure looks close to the original Mary Kay color in the right light. At my age this is my last guitar I will buy but I am sure glad this was the one. Try one out I don't think you will be sorry.After all the magic comes from your hands, ears, musical soul and talent. The instrument is only the conduit.

I ordered this guitar cause I wanted to try a Stratocaster thru my Blues Deluxe amp.. when Fed-Ex dropped it off I open the guitar up I tuned it and I’ve not set it down since.. I have a Telecaster that a friend “ who owns a boutique guitar company” has upgraded and relic for me that is plays amazing.. but this Strat out of the box is Phenomenal!! I recommend this guitar to anyone.. I’m glad I ordered it and I’m thinking real hard about ordering another one

"Can't leave this axe alone!"

I've had mine for a few weeks now and WOW! I'm so glad I got this axe. Great Strat tone, feel and looks. The neck feels great. The frets are well done. Great QC. I got the sunburst and it's gorgeous. The pine body is very interesting. Good weight. Not too heavy yet not too light. Great unplugged tone says it will sound great plugged in. This guitar definitely gives off the vintage vibe. This axe has opened a lot of doors for me. I'm so glad I got it and thanks to zZounds pay plan it made it easy. Great vintage sounding Strat on par with more expensive Fender Strats. Get one

"Worth every penny and then some"

The quality of this guitar is ridiculously good for being a Squier and at this price point. I bought it for my daughter for Christmas, but I decided to pick it up and play while she was at school before I give it to her. For "testing purposes". The neck is smooth and you don't get those annoying frets sticking out like on cheaper guitars. It has a pine body like the old 50s strats.....The pickups aren't going to set your world on fire, but they are still really good for this price point.If you want a 50s style strat for curiosity's sake this is the way to go. It looks great.

Wow. I've got a made in mexico standard from around 2015. Stock, this thing blows the doors off it. Bone nut, pine body, alnico pickups and it's pretty to boot. Buy this now.
