Replaced by Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster (Second Series)
Starting from 2019 the production was moved to Indonesia, but Classic Vibes were manufactured in both places for a while
FENDER SAYS
The rough-and-tumble Classic Vibe Stratocaster '60s evokes that musically adventurous decade, adding a few modern features. The thick tone comes from the alnico V single-coil pickups—quick attack with a bit more midrange force. Custom staggered pole pieces provide improved string-to-string balance. The 60s-style neck hosts a modern 9.5" radius for comfortable playing and string bending.
