Squier's Classic Vibe offset models, bringing the Jaguar and Jazzmaster shapes to a budget price.

Watch

YouTube video Puisheen · 2021-02 — Puisheen examines a Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar, from hardware to setup and tone.

Why it matters

The Classic Vibe '70s offsets are the least expensive way into the two shapes Fender designed for the offset crowd. Both use the scale length and switching layouts of the originals, with bound necks and block inlays as the period styling. They have become the standard recommendation for players who want the look and feel without vintage prices.

Note

Offsets brought to budget; block inlays and binding on CV 70s models.

Specifications

  • Scale length: 610 mm (24 in) Jaguar / 648 mm (25.5 in) Jazzmaster
  • Neck shape: "C" Shape

Before you buy

  • The two shapes play differently because the scale lengths differ
  • Offset bridges and tremolo systems need patience to set up
  • The Jaguar's switching takes time to learn
