just trying to help one of our leftys get a bargain
i will keep my gob shut next tome !!
There's a lot of internet hype about upper end squiers but I think people are getting carried away saying they're better than fenders.
They are cracking guitars and imho better than most Mexican strats
It's better than a single model from 25 years ago but not a huge sample set. What was the issue with the fenders?
Fender can sell on the brand name alone to some degree and Squier don’t have that to fall back on.
They might not have the nice appointments
or luxury touches but any guitarist worth their salt could take one out of the box and perform a great gig with all the Squiers I’ve played.
I'm only talking about objective quality like the comment that the neck pocket doesn't match up properly. For personal preference then by all means someone might prefer a classic vibe to a standard.
Personal preference could prefer anything though, could prefer a 80 quid Argos effort to a 5 grand boutique.
I'm only talking about objective quality problems. I think it's a bit of internet mythology that if you took a large batch of 400 quid Squiers and 600 quid fenders, there would be fewer quality problems on the squiers.
Could be a kind of conspiracy angle where fender take what should be 300 quid guitars and badge them as fender to con people.
Or the other angle where people like to think they've discovered a secret where they can get more for less.
