FENDER SAYS
The Simon Neil Stratocaster guitar puts the Biffy Clyro guitarist's own personal touch on a Squier Classic Vibe series instrument. Based on Neil's Fender Custom Shop Time Machine '60s Stratocaster, features include an alder body finished in Fiesta Red, vintage-tint gloss maple neck, Neil's signature on the back of the headstock and Biffy Clyro logo on the front, three-ply mint green pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines and tremolo, aged plastic parts, and three custom vintage-style single-coil pickups with a mix of alnico III and V magnets-perfect for rhythm parts and rich, clear leads.
