Squier Classic Vibe - New Models for 2025
Squier Classic Vibe 2025: Vintage Vibe, Fresh Energy
The 2025 Squier Classic Vibe lineup has arrived, marking one of the most exciting updates to the series in years. Featuring over 15 new guitars and basses, the collection stays true to its vintage-inspired roots while introducing modern features that today’s players will appreciate.
Standout Models:
Telecasters with Bigsby
One of the standout models is a Custom Telecaster SH equipped with a Bigsby vibrato system. It pairs a single-coil bridge pickup with a humbucker in the neck, delivering a unique blend of vintage tone and visual flair.
Hardtail Stratocasters
Squier is now offering Stratocaster models without the traditional tremolo bridge. Available in both HSS and standard pickup configurations, these hardtail Strats provide greater tuning stability and easier maintenance.
Offset Guitars and Esquire Variants
The Duo-Sonic returns with a short scale length and a humbucker/single-coil pickup combo, offering punchy tone and a compact feel. A new Jazzmaster model also joins the lineup, finished in striking Tahitian Coral. In addition, the updated Custom Esquire introduces a single-pickup Tele-style guitar with bold colour options and a minimalist setup.
Expanded Bass Lineup
Bass players have plenty to explore this year. New models include a range of Jazz and Telecaster Basses with features like HiMass bridges, block inlays, and switchable active/passive electronics. Both four- and five-string versions are available to suit different playing styles.
Vintage Feel Meets Modern Functionality
The Classic Vibe line continues to celebrate vintage styling through features like tinted maple necks, nickel-plated hardware, and period-correct finishes. At the same time, these new models include modern improvements such as upgraded pickups, improved switching, and hardware designed for more reliable performance.
Whether you're into warm jazz tones, gritty blues, punchy rock, or funk-driven basslines, this year’s lineup offers something that feels familiar yet refreshingly new. Squier continues to prove that style, tone, and quality can come in an affordable and inspiring package.
