NAMM 2024: Squier updates its vintage-style Classic Vibe range with four new Limited Edition models

January 18, 2024

NAMM 2024: Fender has announced a slew of new products ahead of NAMM 2024, including a pair of 70 Anniversary Stratocasters – celebrating 70 years of the most iconic guitar in history – as well as a host of handy new accessories, from guitar and amp stands to guitar straps to even a new pedal switcher.
But wait, there’s more… The Big F has also revealed a metric tonne of new products under its owned brands, including Jackson, Gretsch, Charvel, EVH, and, of course, Squier.
The latter sees four new limited-edition additions to its Classic Vibe series, which pairs “vintage-era vibes and long-familiar tones” with “unbeatable Squier value”.

Paying homage to ’60s Strat designs, the Limited Edition Classic Vibe ’60s Stratocaster HSS features, as you’d guess, a set of Fender-designed Alnico pickups in a humbucker-single coil-single-coil configuration. Other features include a slim C-shaped neck with a 9.5″ radius laurel fingerboard and narrow tall frets, as well as a vintage-style tremolo system.
Elsewhere, the guitar sports 1960s-inspired headstock markings and a matching painted headstock, in addition to nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish to complement that old-school vibe.
The Limited Edition Classic Vibe ’60s Strat HSS comes in both Sienna Sunburst and Lake Placid Blue, and is priced at £409.99/$449.99.

Tipping its hat to the double-bound Telecaster models of the 1960s, the Limited Edition Classic Vibe ’60s Custom Telecaster is loaded with a pair of Fender-designed Alnico single-coil pickups, and like the Stratocaster above, features a slim C-shaped neck with a 9.5″-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets. Other specs include a vintage-style Telecaster bridge with barrel saddles and a string-through-body design, as well as vintage-inspired headstock markings and nickel-plated hardware.
The Limited Edition Classic Vibe ’60s Custom Telecaster comes in one colourway – Satin Dakota Red – and is priced at £429.99/$429.99.

Like the Custom Telecaster above, the Limited Edition Classic Vibe ’60s Telecaster SH also features a slim C-shaped neck profile with a 9.5″-radius fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style Telecaster bridge with barrel saddles and a string-through-body design. However, in terms of pickups, this one is packed with Fender-designed single-coil bridge and humbucking neck pickups. It also sports ’60s-inspired headstock markings and a matching painted headstock, with nickel-plated hardware and a vintage-tint gloss neck finish.
The Limited Edition Classic Vibe ’60s Telecaster SH is available in Sherwood Green and Black, and is priced at £409.99/$449.99.

And last in the lineup, the Limited Edition Classic Vibe Mid-’60s Jazz Bass is loaded with Fender-designed Alnico single-coil pickups, and like the other new Squier models, features a C-shaped neck profile, 9.5″-radius bound fingerboard with narrow-tall frets, as well as a vintage-style bridge with threaded saddles. It also sports 1960s-inspired headstock markings, rich-looking nickel-plated hardware and a slick vintage-tint gloss neck finish for an old-school vibe.
