COMMENTS
Replaced by Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster (Second Series)
FENDER SAYS
The Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s provides unmistakable '50s-era Fender vibe and tone. A custom set of pickups cranks out authentic tone—clear and bright, with terrific sustain, even in crunch mode. Custom staggered pole pieces provide improved string-to-string volume balance for clearly defined tone.
