Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Stratocaster®

Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Stratocaster® — Laurel Fingerboard

The 1970s Stratocaster occupies a unique and fascinating chapter in Fender history — the era of the large headstock, the bullet truss rod, and a distinctly bolder aesthetic that defined the sound of rock, funk, and fusion at their creative peak. The Squier Classic Vibe ’70s Stratocaster tips its hat to that iconic decade with period-correct large headstock styling, ’70s-inspired markings, and a trio of Fender-Designed Alnico single-coil pickups that deliver the warm, expressive tone that made the CBS-era Strat a stage staple worldwide.
