Squier Vista Musicmaster

Here at Tom’s Guitar Shop in the heart of Greenwich Market, we’re pleased to offer a cool slice of ’90s Fender history, a Squier Vista Series Musicmaster in sleek black. Made in the late ’90s, the Vista Series gave a modern twist to classic Fender student models, and the Musicmaster stands out for its simplicity, comfort, and unique tone.

This short-scale charmer (22.7″ scale length) features a lightweight body and a single Vista Tone humbucker in the bridge for punchy, straightforward tone that still offers surprising versatility. The simple volume and tone controls make it easy to dial in everything from clean sparkle to gritty overdrive, while the matching black headstock completes the understated but stylish look. This example is in great playing shape with only light signs of use, all parts intact, and a comfy neck that plays like butter. Whether you’re after a grab-and-go gig guitar, a fun studio tool, or just something with a bit of quirky Fender heritage, the Vista Musicmaster delivers.
