Overview

A tip of the hat to the large-headstock Strat® models produced during the 1970s, the Classic Vibe™ ‘70s Stratocaster® HT HSS brings punchy tones to the party thanks to its Fender Designed™ alnico humbucking bridge pickup. A popular option in the ‘70s era, the hardtail bridge (HT) provides stable intonation and its string-through-body design creates optimal body resonance. This throwback Squier® model also features 1970s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware, and a slick vintage-tinted gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.
