Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster Hardtail Electric Guitar in Surf Green

The Squier Classic Vife '50s Stratocaster Hardtail is an electric guitar that pays homage to the early Fender Stratocaster models from the 1950s. It features the distinctive Stratocaster body shape with a solid poplar construction finished in a vibrant Surf Green gloss polyurethane. This model is distinguished by its hardtail (string-through-body) bridge system, which was an option first introduced in 1955, offering stable intonation and enhanced body resonance compared to traditional tremolo systems. The guitar is equipped with three Fender Designed alnico single-coil pickups, delivering the classic, bright, and articulate tones associated with vintage Stratocasters. Its maple neck has a comfortable 'C' shaped profile with a 9.5-inch radius maple fingerboard, 21 narrow tall frets, and a vintage-tinted gloss urethane finish for a smooth playing feel. Hardware includes a six-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge with bent steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, and nickel-plated components throughout, complemented by a single-ply parchment pickguard for an authentic period look. This instrument is well-suited for players seeking the iconic Stratocaster sound and aesthetic with the added tuning stability of a fixed bridge. The combination of vintage-inspired specifications and modern Squier craftsmanship makes it a practical choice for both beginners and experienced musicians looking for a reliable, great-sounding guitar for practice, recording, or live performance across various musical styles, particularly blues, rock, and indie.
