Classic Vibe 60's Strat - 3 Tone Sunburst
Additional Photos:
This product is no longer available.
The rough-and-tumble Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60s evokes that musically adventurous decade, with a few modern features added. The alder body has a Three-color Sunburst finish; the 60s-era vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5 radius. The thick tone comes from the alnico V single-coil pickupsquick attack with a bit more midrange force and a knockout bridge pickup. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance

Ive been playing for about two years, and this is the guitar I started on. It is a beautiful guitar. The pickups sound great, you can get good sounds just from the guitar and a Mustang Amp. I have played high end strats at L&M, and I love them, but when I get home and play my CV, it just feels comfortable. I don't know if Ill ever get another strat, because this one suits me perfectly. I don't see any difference between this and a Fender American Professional that is worth the price difference. My Next electric guitar buy will be a CV Telecaster, because I just need another Squier. If you're just starting off, get this and a Mustang 70W, they'll do you just fine. If you have a big budget for guitars, sure go for the Fender if its worth it for you, but at least give Squier a shot, they'll surprise you.

Plays beautifully, sounds pretty good. Has a bit of trouble staying in tune, i l find the tuners are too low ratio and are very sensitive. Might upgrade those. Pickups sound really good, classic tones but get pretty noisy with high powered amps. The trem system came not setup properly out of the box and needed setting up to stay in any sort of tune. It is the classic synchronized fender system so it's not perfect regardless.
Over all this is an amazing guitar for the price (got mine on sale, and I suspect it was a customer return). It will never be as nice as even a more economical American Strat, but this is as good if not better than the Mexican Standards

If you need a cheap strat, this is the go-to 'real' inexpensive axe.
I love strats but have no money, Hendrix freak so crappy strats just shrivel my bag. this one comes set up beautifully and competently (get rid of the thin strings obviously). A little over 400 bucks with tax and you get some real nice 'tonerider' type Alnico 5's, a gorgeuos tinted neck that plays like butter with right-on frets and very good vintage tuners, a nicer-seeming bridge than I got on my tinny sounding MIM strat, a flawless fit and finish factor, including a properly done nut and a virgin-tight neck-pocket fit. The pickgaurd is a disgrace, however, you get a sort of printed reproduction of tortoise-shell, and even that looks fuzzy and stupid because it was printed out of register, gawd! I put a fender Bronze Moto pickguard on mine and it makes me giddy.
Soundwise? Pretty damn good - I've been playing and tweaking my sound through various good pedals and a little Blackstar 1-watt, and this guitar has some quality and depth to the sound. and does all the stratty, quacky, pickup combinations excellently and effectively, and I've found that the pickups have tremendous capability to produce some bouncy biting tones as well as the warmer, rounder stuff very effectively if you have decent gear.
Took a good look while i changed 'guards and the wiring is spot-on and neat, the pickups exude that, 'comfy quality' feel when you handle them (don't look under the hood on a MIM standard strat, which is a good $150 more, the pickup construction will sadden you.). The hardware all looks, feels and functions right-on, good electronics, blah blah blah, but all this PLUS the way she plays and feels make this the 'under $500 strat' to audition before you buy anything else at this price point.

I had already bought a CV 50s about 4mos ago, and so was so impressed with it, and play it so much, i went out and bought the Classic Vibe 60s ! Fantastic workmanship on all that i have tried, and the neck plays just fabulous. This is now my favorite guitar to play among 5, and with the CV 60s, i love the pups as they are a bit hotter than the 50s. No disappointments with the Classic Vibe line, get one before Fender starts raising the price !

I compared this to a few MIM strats and found this guitar was their equal. L&M can bring in the red version of this guitar - much nicer IMHO!

When I bought this I played it for about half hour and then played a Made in Mexico and I honestly thought the Squier was a much better guitar and bought it that day.
Have since swapped out the original pickups for Texas Specials and this thing is now amazing. What a sleeper!!!

Just a little tip. If you want to keep the nut on the 1/4" jack tight, tighten up the nut then brush a small drop of nail polish where the nut and the thread contact.

This simply is a great guitar. The 5-way switch provides so many tonal options, it looks great and feels nice and light. It can also take a beating. The only thing that is a little frustrating is having to tighten the 1/4 inch outlet every other time i want to play.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
