Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Candy Apple Red gives this Classic Vibe ’60s Stratocaster a distinct finish around its period-inspired design. Three Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups are made to capture 1960s-era Strat character, and the five-way blade switch brings single-pickup and combined choices within reach. The slim C-shaped maple neck uses a vintage-tint gloss finish, with a 9.5-inch Indian laurel fingerboard and 21 narrow-tall frets. It also carries a vintage-style synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, nickel-plated hardware, and a white single-ply pickguard.
Strong match
Who this is for
