Squier 2019: Classic Vibe Series

Squier and Fender are best known for their vintage design guitars and the Classic Vibe series brings retro back in the bucketloads.

At the top of the Squier line, Classic Vibe guitars are equipped with all new custom electronics, hardware and pickups straight from the Fender factory. So not only do these beauties look like the real thing, but sound like it too!

Mid-20th century records were laced with famous Fender alnico pickup guitars. Now you can get closer to sounding like them than ever before or let these awesome spec changes inspire you to create something completely new.

You know you’ll be getting your hands on an incredibly well-made instrument built to last throughout your guitar career.

Let’s start off with the most recognisable guitar in the world; the Stratocaster. It returns in one of its original ‘70s forms, with the choice of either Laurel or classic Maple fingerboards and H/S/S or S/S/S configurations.

Complete with oversized headstock, reliable tremolo bridge system and a very cool vintage tint gloss neck. The seventies live on in Squier.

The O.G. The daddy. We’ve seen many iterations of the Telecaster over the decades and the Classic Vibe line-up reflects that.

You have the choice between Deluxe, Custom and Thinline models, all with various major feature changes. Deluxe Teles have large headstocks, two brilliant Fender Wide Range humbucker pickups and a hardtail bridge.

Customs are recognisable from the single coil/humbucker layout and ashtray bridge. While Thinlines are semi-hollow with their classic F-shape hole.

Offset Squiers and Fenders are some of the most player-friendly guitars ever created. 

All Classic Vibe Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Mustang guitars have 9.5” radius fingerboard and a super comfortable C shape neck to make life as easy as possible. 

The Mustang was the original student guitar. At a 24” scale length, the same as the Jaguar, it’s easy to navigate the fretboard or simply improve the playing experience for those of you with smaller hands.   

In true faithful fashion, they’re all equipped with tall vintage frets and sleek retro tuners.

What’s a new release without an iconic Jazz bass? An extremely versatile instrument, even in its vintage form, the Jazz can be used for almost any musical genre thanks to its single coil bridge and middle pickup combination.

Famous for its C-shape neck and slim taper, the Classic Vibe Jazz is a dream to play and looks as cool as ever in its old school get-up.

You know exactly what you’re getting from a vintage-inspired Precision bass. Chunky, thunderous tone and the feel of a weighty and full body and neck.

The Precision is no shrinking violet, with those huge tuners and tortoiseshell pickguard.

There was only one option for the daring and adventurous bassists of the sixties and seventies; the Bass VI.

It’s just one octave lower than a guitar so provides a half way step for players of either background to get into the sister instrument.

Supremely deep in learning curve, options and playing satisfaction, the Bass VI is the one that got away for most bass players as it was only originally produced between 1961 and 1975.

No longer is it out of reach, as this extremely affordable package is ready and waiting with features like a trem bridge, exclusive bass-cut electronic circuit and most obviously, six strings!
