CLASSIC VIBE STRATOCASTER 50

The Classic Vibe Stratocaster ’50s provides unmistakable ’50s-era Fender® vibe and tone. The Alder body has a Two-color Sunburst, Lake Placid Blue or Olympic White finish; the vintage-tint gloss-maple Neck (Two-color Sunburst and Olympic White models only) has a Maple Fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo Frets and a modern 9.5” radius. That long-familiar tone comes from a custom set of Alnico III single-coil pickups—clear and bright, with terrific sustain even in crunch mode. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance.
