Squier Classic Vibe 50s Stratocaster 2025 Fiesta Red

This second hand electric guitar is in great condition, basically as new, except for one tiny mark near the pickguard

2025 model.

The Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster in Fiesta Red is more than just a nostalgic nod to Fender's golden era — it's a surprisingly refined, well-built instrument that punches far above its price point. Whether you're a vintage tone chaser, a new player, or simply love the look of a candy-bright Strat, this guitar delivers tone, playability, and style in spades.

Looks & First Impressions

Fiesta Red , a classic ‘50s custom colour , looks stunning on the contoured poplar body, especially under a glossy polyurethane finish. The vintage tinted maple neck and aged-looking plastics (including a single-ply white pickguard and aged knobs) help it look convincingly retro. Even before plugging in, the guitar exudes Fender spirit.

Tone & Electronics

The Fender-designed Alnico pickups are the real surprise. They’re bright, glassy, and deliver a wonderfully authentic Strat sound. The neck pickup is smooth and bluesy, the middle position has classic cluck, and the bridge bites without sounding too thin.

While it's not noiseless (single coils never are), the tone is clear, dynamic, and very responsive to picking technique or amp settings. You’ll find everything from surf shimmer to Hendrix fuzz to Dire Straits twang.

• Gorgeous vintage styling and colour

• Fender-designed Alnico pickups sound fantastic

• Excellent value for money

• Comfortable soft C neck and 9.5" radius fretboard

Whether you’re recording, performing, or just vibing at home, this Strat brings the colour and the class. Don’t let the price tag fool you — this guitar is the real deal.
