The Classic Vibe Stratocaster ’50s provides unmistakable ’50s-era Fender vibe and tone. The alder body is available in a variety of finishes. The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck 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 pole pieces provide improved string-to-string balance.
