The Squier Classic Vibe series has become a byword for value in electric guitars with specs that actually make these instruments rivals to some of Fender's own models. This '60s Stratocaster is no exception and with $50 off at Sweetwater, it feels like the Black Friday guitar deals have started to land early.
The Olympic White finish here is exclusive to Sweetwater in the US too – making this an even more special buy.
Squier Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster: was $449, now $399 at Sweetwater
Get a classic Stratocaster deal this Black Friday with a special finish in Olympic White and vintage-style pickups and tremolo. Classic Vibe Squiers are rarely on sale so grab this while you can!
Along with a trio of alnico Fender-designed single-coil pickups and a vintage-style synchronised tremolo to capture a range of classic Strat tones from Hendrix to Gilmour and John Mayer, this model includes a bone nut to enhance resonance.
A comfortable C-shape neck widens the appeal, while the mint-green pickguard here adds to the vintage vibe that harks back to the Strat's golden era.
The Classic Vibe range is a premium Squier series and a great option for new players who want to invest in a guitar they can go the distance with, but this is a well-appointed Strat for anyone. From modders to players that just want a superb example of a classic model at a great price.
Sweetwater even goes the extra step to give players the option of picking out the exact guitar you want – and even states the weight of each one.
