zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Squier Vintage Modified 51 Strat mixes '50s ingredients like a C-shaped neck with modern accoutrements like a coil-tapped humbucker for true versatility.

The Squier '51 returns in a hot Vintage Modified model that delivers all the great style and features of the original value-priced screamer of the mid 2000s. All the enormous tonal versatility is back, with a powerful SH pickup configuration, rotary pickup selector, push-pull coil tap and more.

Features include a basswood body, satin-finish maple neck with "C"-shaped profile, 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets, single-coil Stratocaster neck pickup and hot humbucking bridge pickup, knurled "chrome dome" master volume control knob that also functions as a push-pull bridge pickup coil-selector switch (full humbucking or inner coil only for single-coil bridge pickup tone), knurled "chrome dome" three-position rotary pickup selector switch (in place of a tone control knob), single-ply white pickguard (black pickguard on Vintage Blonde model) and six-saddle hard-tail bridge.

The Strat that could! Solid wood body, Candy Apple metal flake. 'Red Rooster'! She has a Tele neck, Tele pickup and Tele headstock. A Fender Bass pick guard and knurled volume, tone knobs. Push/pull on the volume, that turns easy for swells. 3 way control knob takes you from Tele, Les Paul neck to combo that is straight Tele madness and the third that is Texas Stratacaster goodness turned up to 11
Sound
When I first plugged her in she was a little 'scratchy'. But once she warmed up, her magnets charged, she began to wail. And hasn't stopped yet!
Features
Her neck is bare, hardly any coating, but it works, her fretwork beautiful. Her paint flawless. Balance and tone, I love it. I love her twang and her soulful ness. I recommend one to anyone.
Ease of Use
The fretwork her fretboard, like butter. Getting sounds, bending notes effortless. Easy to play. Basically a student guitar, like a Les Paul Jr. . Which I equate her with. The 51' Squier Strat. 'The Squier 'Les Paul' Jr.'
Quality
Excellent craftsmanship. Well made. One note make sure you tighten jack nut occasionally
Value
Worth double, triple what you pay. But...as they say 'it's all in the hands'.
Manufacturer Support
No problems here. zZounds support is award winning I 'ass'ume.
The Wow Factor
Having the onky c original design by Squier makes it a collectors item.
