Fender-designed alnico HSS pickups

Enjoy a totally authentic voicing thanks to Fender-designed alnico pickups. Known for their balanced and versatile tone, these pickups boast the precise engineering and tonal clarity that Squier is known for. The alnico magnets produce clear highs, warm mids, and tight bass, resulting in a rich and dynamic sound that is perfect for both rhythm playing and lead solos.

The HSS pickup configuration offers even more versatility. You can achieve classic Stratocaster tones, as well as thicker and more powerful sounds thanks to the humbucker. This combination makes the Squier Ltd Ed Classic Vibe '60s Stratocaster HSS an incredibly versatile guitar that can handle any genre and playing style.

Authentic '60s vibe
