Description
The Simon Neil Stratocaster guitar puts Simon's own personal touch on a Squier Classic Vibe series instrument.

Based on his Fender Custom Shop Time Machine '60s Stratocaster guitar, features include an alder body finished in Fiesta Red, vintage-tint gloss maple neck, Simon's signature on the back of the headstock as well as the Biffy Clyro band logo on the front, 3-ply mint green pickguard, three custom vintage-style single-coil pickups utilizing a mix of alnico III & V magnets - perfect for rhythm parts and rich, clear leads - vintage-style tuning machines and tremolo, and aged plastic parts.
The Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s provides unmistakable '50s-era Fender vibe and tone.

The alder body has a Two-Color Sunburst, Lake Placid Blue or Olympic White finish.

The vintage-tint gloss-maple neck (Two-Color Sunburst and Olympic White models only) 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.
