The Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s provides unmistakable '50s-era Fender vibe and tone. The alder body has a Two-color Sunburst finish; the vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a maple fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5" radius. That long-familiar tone comes from a custom set of alnico III single-coil pickups-clear and bright, with terrific sustain even in crunch mode. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance.

I was going to check this guitar out for a few days to see if I wanted to keep it. It took 1 hour and I was tearing the plastic off the pickguard. This is a KEEPER, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Sound, playability, workmanship all excellent. Nothing not to like, just go get one, you wont be disapointed !!
You wont find a better bang for the buck,period !!
I've owned Fender USA, Mex, Japan Strats, the quality of this guitar is incredible for the money.
One of, if not the best value out there for the price.

.100% Satisfied! This is a great guitar for the price and my needs. Minimal set up was needed. Only a small intonation adjustment to a couple strings and tuned it up and was ready to go.

.Always loved the look/sound of 50s era strats but not the cost or the neck/frets of vintage/reissue models. This is the ideal alternative! Blown away by the sound, feel and finish. Initially ambivalent about the cream colored pickup covers and knobs; not sure why they didn't go with white. But the cream-on-white look has grown on me; seems to complement the tinted maple neck. Easy to change this if so inclined anyway. Minor setup required as you'd expect but nothing drastic. Fret ends could use a little attention but again minor; something I may do sometime down the road. Tremolo does affect tuning but then again it's a vintage-style design so what else is new? Apart from that I can't say enough good things about this model. I have 5 strats ranging from Affinity Squier to American Deluxe and vintage reissue models and I'm telling you, this stands up to all of 'em. If you dig vintage looks/tone, do yourself a favor and try this before you purchase a MIM or Amerian Standard. And while you're at it; check out their CV tele!!!

.This guitar is amazing. Made in China with a great fit and finish. The body appears to be slightly thinner than my MiM strat. That said, this CV 50's literally crushes the MiM sound wise. It's a great all around Strat for short money. I love it. Frets are nice, action and intonation out of the box were spot on. The Alnico III single coils are amazing.
