General
The Squier '51 is back, this time in a new Vintage Modified guise with the same style and versatile tonal characteristics of the original guitar from the dawn of the 21st century. It is equipped with a powerful single-coil and humbucker configuration, rotary pickup switch and a push-pull coil tap on the master volume knob. It is an affordable, high-quality guitar for starting guitarists.
Squier Vintage Modified '51 Stratocaster 2TS: rotary switch
The Squier Stratocaster is an affordable version of the world-renowned, more expensive model and mostly aimed at starting musicians. This Vintage Modified '51 Strat has a basswood body and a maple C-profile neck. Its fretboard is also made of maple and fitted with 21 medium jumbo frets and black position markers. One of the most special features of this '51 Stratocaster is the omission of a tone-control knob. Instead, we find a knurled chrome dome rotary switch that allows guitarists to choose between three pickup positions. The (also knurled) master volume knob is very special as well, as it works according to the push-pull principle. Pressing or pulling it can engage the desired coil of the bridge pickup, so you can use the full humbucker or just the inner coil to provide you with the sound of a single-coil pickup. Additionally, this Squier Vintage Modified '51 Stratocaster features a single-layer white pickguard and a six-saddle hardtail bridge.
The Squier brand
The most famous electric guitars are the Stratocaster, Telecaster and Precision Bass. These are consequently often copied by many manufacturers. To offer their own reliable, attractive alternative for the more expensive guitars, Fender started their affiliate Squier in 1982. Squier guitars and bass guitars are built according to specifications by, and under supervision of, Fender. This assures you of purchasing a high-quality instrument.
