Performance features that guitarists here are quick to bond with include a flatter Indian laurel fingerboard with a 9.5-inch radius, narrow-tall frets, a bone nut, and a set of Fender Designed alnico HSS Stratocaster pickups with a near-infinite tonal range. The Classic Vibe series offers a plethora of vintage-appointed models from Fender’s expansive catalog of legendary instruments, and the Classic Vibe ’70s Stratocaster HT HSS offers you a highly obtainable throwback instrument, built to be enjoyed for countless hours of playtime.

Built to get your groove on

The Classic Vibe ’70s Stratocaster HT HSS isn’t simply a wall decoration — it plays as great as it looks. To start, the C-shaped neck profile adapts to many hand sizes, offering fast and slick playability along the entire length of the Indian laurel fingerboard. The 9.5-inch fingerboard radius has a “best of both worlds” response, equally suitable for base position chord playing and blazingly fast solo work. The 21 narrow-tall frets feel natural to the touch and offer enough fret height to dig deep into expressively big string bends. Performance-grade, vintage-style tuners and a hardtail bridge keep your tuning in check during long sets at the gig or practice sessions at home. Lastly, a bone nut is installed to further bolster the harmonic resonance of the Classic Vibe ’70s Stratocaster HT HSS, leading to a highly vibrant instrument with added resonance you can feel.

Fender Designed alnico pickups

When it comes to tone, Fender Designed alnico pickups cover all the bases with sonic authority: chiming highs, rich and warm lows, and a pleasing midrange growl. This guitar’s pickup set and Tone control open a gamut of expressive sounds to fit any genre. From clean jazz and in-the-pocket funk to country and blues rock, you’ll fit in with any project that comes your way. Add in the bridge-position humbucking pickup, and your tonal world expands into hard rock and metal territory, filled with all the screaming harmonics and aggressive behavior you crave.
