Squier Classic Vibe Strat 60s 3 Tone Sunburst 2023

This second hand electric guitar is in great condition

The Classic Vibe 60s Strat is an affordable, vintage-inspired electric guitar that channels the look and feel of a 1960s Strat. It sports a 3-Tone Sunburst gloss finish with nickel-plated hardware and vintage-style tuning machines that give it that retro mojo without the premium price tag. 

Build & Feel

• Nato or alder body (depending on retailer/spec) with a gloss finish for that classic Strat sheen. 

• Slim “C”-shaped maple neck with a 9.5″ radius fingerboard and 21 narrow-tall frets making it comfortable and easy to play for beginners and experienced players alike. 

• Vintage-tint gloss neck looks great and stays true to the 60s vibe. 

Overall, it feels lightweight and well balanced, with a neck profile that a lot of players find approachable straight out of the gig bag.

Tone & Electronics

Classic Strat® Tonality
Equipped with a trio of Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups, this Strat delivers that bright, bell-like sound many players associate with classic rock, blues, funk and surf tones , from glassy cleans to biting bridge pickup twang.

• 5-way blade switch gives you all the standard Strat combinations — clear neck chime, smooth middle tones, and snappy bridge bite.

• Pickups respond well to different amps and pedals, offering plenty of versatility for its price point. 

While some enthusiasts suggest that the pickups and hardware are not as refined as higher-end Strats and might benefit from upgrades later on, they’re widely regarded as very capable stock units for most players. 

Playability & Performance

Comfort and Ease of Play
The neck and fretboard design make this Strat easy to play — whether you’re strumming chords or bending leads. The modern 9.5″ radius strikes a great balance — not too flat for chords and not too curved for solos. 

 Pros

• Excellent vintage Strat vibe at an affordable price. 

• Comfortable neck and playability right out of the box. 

• Versatile tone with classic Strat single-coil sounds.

• Great choice for beginners and intermediate players alike.
