Here is a cult classic, a 2010 Classic Vibe 50s Strat in Fiesta Red. I am only the second owner, the first owner said he bought it NOS in 2015. It is in very-good-to-excellent condition. Even the saddles don’t show any corrosion or age. Frets show very minimal wear. It is currently in D standard tuning, strung with Ernie Ball Burly Slinky (11-52). The strings are new, installed 9/25/21. Only cosmetic flaws are the hairline finish cracks (both sides) by the neck joint. See photos. These are very common on bolt-on guitars and does not affect playability, integrity, and tone.
You may or may not know, but these Squier Classic Vibe instruments made in the Grand Reward factory in China from around 2008 to 2018 have a cult following for a reason. They easily match high-end MIM and even MIA Fenders in terms of feel and build quality. Just look up any forum online and you’ll see the praises. In fact, this is my 4th Chinese Classic Vibe and I’m crazy about them. Only selling to free up some space and money for other gear.
Here is a rundown of the specs:
- alder body (you read that right, alder)
- maple neck
- maple fretboard
- neck has modern C shape
- 9.5” radius
- vintage style tremolo
- vintage style tuners (one of the smoothest I’ve tried)
- 21 frets
- modern 2-1/16” string spacing
For the electronics it has:
- alnico III pickups (rumored to be Tonerider Surfari)
- 250k small Alpha pots
- tone 1 controls neck pickup
- tone 2 controls middle pickup
Priced to sell- $399 shipped.
Will ship either through FedEx Ground to CONUS only. No case, but will be double-boxed. Tremolo arm included but will be detached. Also includes a mint green HSS pickguard for free.
Thank you!
