If it really was the case that a Squier was as good as a Fender and I was buying a new guitar I think I'd have a lot of inner confusion but thankfully I don't believe that is the case.
When in the supermarket I only buy branded foods if they're actually better, which isn't the case too often actually. Incidentally, tinned peas is something I too prefer the value option!
It's very nice, and i actually quite like that it says Squier on the headstock - it's a 'sleeper'.
But my comment was because even the cheapest Squier is over 100 quid and the dearest is under 500. So none of them are sub-£100 instruments, never mind all of them.
A lot for a 2nd hand squier, but the upgrades alone would have cost about that.
I'll be putting £15-20 into the one above...
I had a Tele Custom 2 for a while..
Great guitar,but the Agathis wood didn't hold the screws too well..
It sounded good,Duncan Design Pickups..it played well..
Longevity is what bothered me about it..
Now if it had an alder body and better hardware,that would be a bit more money and into Fender's territory..
There were a couple of high frets..
Then again my American Special Series has a problem with a high fret..
Unfortunately the shop where I got it went bust..
My Earlier Squiers were not that great to be honest..
I loved them at the time and played them to death though..
When I got my first USA Fender,long time ago now..
I realised you got better quality parts on it..
There are Squiers if they cost a little more for better hardware,,I would buy..
If I see a player up there playing great on a Squier instead of a Fender,
I somehow think,this player really has the skills,they can do it on a real less flash guitar..
Fenders are pretty robust..
For more wild gigs,an Epiphone is a good Gibson Substitute..
Factor in a fret level..A pick up change if you are partial to that..
I have Gibsons I've done that to though..
An Epiphone has a Scarf Joint and a less fussy finish..
So an Epiphone is in many ways more robust than a Gibson..
A Fender is more robust than a Squier on some of the more recent models...
I Love Fenders and Gibsons by the way..
I do worry about my headstock with a Gibson though..
I probably like my Les Pauls for playing the most though..
I wonder how common that is.
