Independent shopping perspective
Finished in Mocha, the Classic Vibe '70s Stratocaster HT HSS combines a poplar Stratocaster body with a maple neck and Indian laurel fingerboard. Its HSS electronics place a Fender-designed alnico humbucker at the bridge alongside alnico single-coils in the middle and neck, with five-way switching for changing pickup combinations. The fixed, string-through-body hardtail bridge uses six individual bent steel saddles for intonation. Large-headstock '70s styling, a tinted gloss neck finish and nickel hardware frame a guitar designed for practice, studio sessions and stage use.
