NAMM 2014: New Squier Strat and P Bass

Squier 60th Anniversary Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster and Eva Gardner Precision Bass   26-Jan-14

Squier has announced the release of the Squier 60th Anniversary Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster and Eva Gardner Precision Bass. Here's the story in their own words...

This year marks the diamond jubilee of the Stratocaster, but players will strike pure gold when getting their hands on Squier's 60th Anniversary Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster. The instrument celebrates six decades of the world's greatest electric guitar with a truly gilded model featuring an Aztec Gold gloss finish and gold hardware.

Other features include a maple neck with a comfortable "modern C" profile, 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets, three custom vintage-style single-coil Stratocaster pickups with five-way switching, three-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge with six saddles, and vintage-style tuners.

Eva Gardner has lent her formidable bass talents to artists including the Mars Volta, Lyra, Veruca Salt, Telstar and P!nk. Now Squier introduces the Eva Gardner Precision Bass, which features special graphics, Gardner's clipper ship tattoo recreated just above the bridge, special 12th-fret inlay graphics and a thumb rest.

Other features include a basswood body with a gloss Black finish, maple neck with "C"-shaped profile and matching headstock, 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets and white pearloid dot inlays, split-single-coil pickup, tortoiseshell pickguard, domed control knobs (master volume, master tone) and Hi-Mass bridge with four brass "barrel" saddles.
