Squier Vintage Modified '51 Stratocaster Vintage Blonde

General

The Squier '51 is back! This time, it is part of the Vintage Modified series, with the same style and versatile tonal characteristics as the original guitar from the first decade of this century. This Squier Strat features a powerful single-coil/humbucker configuration, a rotary pickup switch and a push-pull coil tap on the master volume control. For both the starting guitarist as the advanced musician on a budget, this Vintage Blonde Squier Stratocaster is a high-quality guitar at a friendly price.

Squier Vintage Modified '51 Stratocaster VBL: single-coil and humbucker

This affordable version of the world-renowned, more expensive Stratocaster has a basswood body and a C-shape maple neck with a satin-gloss finish. Its fretboard is also made of maple and features 21 medium jumbo frets and black position markers. One of the most special features of this '39 Stratocaster is the omission of a tone-control knob. Instead, this guitar has a knurled chrome dome rotary pickup switch, to alternate between three pickup positions. The - also knurled - master volume knob is a bit of an oddball, as it works via a push-pull principle to choose between the coils of the bridge pickup - you can alternate between the full humbucker or just the inner coil for the sound of a single-coil (bridge) pickup. Additionally, the Vintage Blonde Squier Vintage Modified '51 Stratocaster features a black 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 to 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.
