General
Back in 1982, Squier released their very first affordable iteration of the icon that is the Stratocaster. Now a legend in its own right, this is the very special Squier Vintage Edition 40th Anniversary Stratocaster. The solid body has been contoured in all the right places, giving the classic shape a snug and familiar feel, while the satin-gloss lacquer and aged, chrome-plated hardware complete the tasty picture, and effortless playing comfort is supplied by a C-profile, vintage-tinted maple neck complete with twenty-one narrow-tall frets.
The 40th Anniversary Stratocaster Vintage Edition: The Flair of a Classic Strat
Squire have polished off the vibe of this special edition Strat with a fitting anodised aluminium pickguard and a set of three Fender Designed Alnico single-coil pickups specially developed to wield renowned tonal flexibility framed by just enough sparkle, just enough emphasis on the overtones, and a light mid-range dip to support tasty, Strat-style spank and growl. Add on the Vintage Style Synchronised tremolo bridge for the necessary vibrato effects and dive bombs, and you're set up with a more-than-solid playing partner.

It's pretty much a Squier Classic Vibe but with nicer colour options and gold pick guard but totally worth the price difference (a pretty unique color)
The neck feels amazing, tuner heads are surprisingly good they keep the guitar in tune for days and they are quite precise. Pots also feel good, they have a nice smooth feeling when turning the volume or tones. Pickup switch is good too and the whammy bar is just ok (nothing special).
Guitar comes with 09' strings.
Where the guitar shines is the tone you get with these pickups. Even with a cheaper amp (the Champion 20 from Fender) you get really good clean tones similar to a Fender strat. Hard to put aside and not play it all day!
Some cons i noticed with the guitar are mainly due to the setup, but that is normal even with more expensive instruments.
Strings need to be replaced as they are already old, the intonation could be a bit better (2 of the 6 strings are not properly intonated), the action could be a bit lower but that is just preference.
A few tweaks you could easily do yourself or bring the guitar to the BaxShop store and they will help you out :)
Overall a solid 5/5 guitar!
Super netjes verpakt net als een Gretsch. Het uitpakken is al een feest op zich.
Uit de verpakking komt echter de beste verrassing ooit!
Of ik heb geluk met dit exemplaar oftewel Squier Indonesia verdient heel veel lof voor de kwaliteit gitaren welke momenteel uit de productie komt.
De hals is werkelijk fan-tas-ties! Mooie gerolde zijden, perfecte iets flinkere frets dan normaliter op een Classic Vibe Squier, heerlijke amberkleurige matte lak op rug van hals en toets, geen dead spots nee mooi gepolijste frets bijna gePLEKt met een machine lijkt wel, dit tesamen met de vintage stalen Squier zadels en de perfect ingevijlde benen topkam maken dat zelfs de oude snaren uit 2022 nog heerlijk klinken!
De Alnico 5 pickups zijn, ook al zijn ze in een plastic behuizing verwerkt, boven verwachting en klinken werkelijk als volwassen stratocaster pickups. Met metingen tussen de 5,81 kHz( neck) en 6,5 kHz (brug) heb je waarempel vergelijkbaar materiaal als een set vintage Fender pickups.
De body is een mahonie like product, ook geen Nato hout maar het is goed resonant en lekker licht, het houdt de gitaar lekker in balans en fijn bespeelbaar. De afwerking is onberispelijk, op een enkel scherp schroefkopje van de prachtige geanodiseerde alu slagplaat na. Schuurpapiertje erover en klaar!
De afstelling / quality control is ook feilloos!
Na het op stemming draaien met de fijne vintage tuners is alles meteen ook perfect geïntoneerd.
Ook de actiehoogte is goed voor mijn smaak en er kan meteen vol gas gespeeld worden!
Aanrader dus deze gitaar! Kies je kleur al zijn alle drie de matte stratocaster uitvoeringen even mooi!
Ik heb de Wide Sunburst ook gekocht en misschien besluit ik nog wel om de Sonic Blue ook te bestellen.
Beter als dit soort Squiers wordt het niet. Get it while you can! Cheers!
