    • Just received mine last night, so we will see. I will update as I know more
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
12.20.24 Full disclosure. I am 62 years old. My journey of learning to play started about 20 years ago with the intent of trying to learn to play, or at least play portions of the music I grew up loving. The first song I focused on was Led Zeps Rain Song. A beautiful song with some unique tuning and chords. I would say I got about 95% of it down and was very pleased with my progress. I ventured into other songs and enjoyed discovering the many different learning aids available online. As life sometimes does, things got in the way and I drifted away from my guitar time. Recently I decided to pick it back up, I am an empty nester and it is just me. It is time to rediscover the joy of making music, learning things and otherwise just enjoying my guitar time again. I am trying to be realistic however, I am not throwing a lot of money at top of the line equipment. As much as I would love a genuine Gibson Les Paul or Fender Strat, I know my ability and budget does not support that. So, I did some reading and looked at some other options. I recently bought an Epi Les Paul and have been very pleased with its construction and playability. Take that last statement with a grain of salt as I am still very much in-between a beginner and a intermediate player. Anyway, the Les Paul feels and sounds great. I also had wanted to play a Strat. So as much as I hate the name "Squire" I decided to pick one up. So far I am a little concerned with some string buzz but a simple adjustment may take care of that. Also, I am not crazy about the tuning machines as they seem very loose. Will monitor to see if they hold proper tuning. May have to put some after market machines on it. Otherwise the guitar is solid and I have not noticed any blemishes or other issues. It has a beautiful finish and looks really good. I will update this review as I settle into a definite opinion with time. I believe these reviews are helpful for us and I enjoy reading them when I am considering making a purchase. 12/31 UPDATE. Now that I have had some time to get to know the guitar and do some practicing, I love it. So far the tuning pegs are holding very well, only minor adjustments needed which probably more about the new strings than anything else. I love the fell and action on this guitar. ... show more

    • Playing is believing.
Style: 70s Color: Olympic White
The Squire Classic Vibe series of electric guitars are an incredible value. It’s hard to believe you can get a Strat this good at this price point but they really are great. The quality of construction, the pickups, niceties such as a bone nut and a beautiful flawless finish along with great playability and classic Fender tone make these guitars a steal at this price. The setup was fine out of the box and I was playing in minutes after tuning up. In fact I wound up playing for hours until it was two in the morning here because I was having so much fun with it! I was plugged into Fender’s GTX 100 modeling amp (with headphones on!) trying it out with various tones and the sound was great. What a blast! I am not going to compare this to other Stratocasters made by Fender although I can tell you that over two decades ago I owned a Custom Shop Strat and Tele as well. Of course you don’t get that for under $500. Each of the Fender product lines incrementally improves various aspects of the instrument as much as possible at a given price point. What I can say is that the Squire Classic Vibe guitars truly are a great value for the money. Both I just purchased are fun to play, are well made with good quality parts and best of all give you that Fender tone you want. Pair any of them that pleases you with your amp of your choice and let the fun begin! By the way, the other Classic Vibe I bought was a Tele in Butterscotch Blond of course because Classic! It’s nice too. I could have bought one or the other in MiM form for about the same money and yes it would be a little nicer but I wouldn’t say dramatically so. I have no regrets. I don’t think you will either if you decide to get one or more too! ... show more

    • Nice Guitar But Heavy
Style: 70s Color: Natural
This guitar is very pretty, solid & seems well made. It was packaged well. But we had to return it, it was much thicker than I expected and it weighted almost 10lbs and that's just too much weight for my guitar player. We bought it to get away from the bulky standard guitar we have but didn't expect this one to be as thick as it was and especially didn't expect it to be as heavy as it was. Otherwise, I would recommend this guitar for even advance players. This was purchased for a 65 year old female & the weight and thickness was simply too much for her. ... show more

    • Great mid level guitar.
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
Bought like-new through 3rd party. Excellent delivery time and came in original packaging. As for the guitar, GREAT axe for the price. The fender pickups are very warm. The headstock reminds me of my dad's 67 Fender, large and polished. Feels like a $1500 guitar for a third of the price. I've only had it a week but very happy. ... show more

    • Great purchase!
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
Guitar arrived very well packed. It was almost in tune and needed little setup to start playing it. It’s a nice addition to my collection.

    • Plays great! Looks great!
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
First, this is such a pretty guitar! The finish is a wood/walnut/reddish color. I love the look of the vintage aged white. It plays like a dream too! It's my favorite guitar I've ever had.

    • 70's Classic Vibe Strat HSS Walnut
Style: 70s Color: Walnut
Review Image by Dafydd
I think they refer to this guitar as 70's inspired rather than a 70's edition. It has the large 70's style headstock. It has narrow and tall frets, a C neck and a 70's style tremolo bridge, single coil alnico pickups in neck and center positions. I've got the HSS so an alnico humbucker pickup is in the bridge position. The nut is real bone. It has the standard 5 way switch. The neck feels like a strat. The fretboard material they say is Indian Laurel. It's a little lighter than rosewood, still looks really nice. The body is Poplar, the color on mine is Walnut. Nice belly cut, a bit less of an arm contour than I'm used to but still fits. Setup was ok when I got it, I took it to my local Guitar store and they improved on it. ... show more
