Same great Classic Vibe '60s Strat platform, this time in Candy Apple Red -- a color that screams vintage Fender. The three alnico single-coil pickups deliver everything from bell-like cleans to gritty blues tones when you push them, and the 5-way switch gives you access to those iconic in-between quack positions that session players rely on.

The slim C-shaped neck profile and 9.5-inch radius fingerboard make this an easy player right out of the box. No fighting the guitar to get comfortable. The Classic Vibe series consistently punches above its weight class, and this Strat is a perfect example -- quality hardware, solid tuning stability, and a resonant nato body that actually sustains. If you want a Strat that looks and sounds like it should cost considerably more, this is your guitar.
