@jameslives787: Cheap VS. Expensive Stratocaster 🎸 The cheap guitar is a Squire Affinity Stratocaster priced at $305, and the expensive guitar is a Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster priced at $4,500! Do you think the $300 Squire sounds good for the money? Is the Fender custom shop worth spending $4,500 on? Leave me a comment and tell me what guitars you want me to compare next!! 🎸
Squier is beginner garbage. Never played one but I know they won’t come close to a Fender.

I can make that $4000 one sound worse than the $304 squire 🤝

Get the Squier and upgrade the pickups and get a better amp. Better investment overall

Most listeners can’t hear the difference. Only guitar players can tell when they play but even then, it won’t make you play any better.

For those that don’t understand why….. it’s the action and quality you are paying for.

I mean the expensive fender sounds more “clear” for sure. But I personally feel there is a point of diminishing returns in guitar prices. Like 2k is my ceiling. Realistically the quality beyond that isn’t going to get that much better between brands.

Showing up to a jam with a Squier and totally nailing it is priceless. All the "I've been playing for 6 years so I know ball" guitarists get real quiet when they have to scoop up their melted face.

Some squires are good enough stock for consistent live gigging, many experienced guitarists will die on that hill

if they cheap strat has a good neck without needing a lot of work then new pickups and tuners and you have a great guitar for around $700

If you just need a Strat sound, Squier. If you want an instrument that’s built to exact spec as a vintage one, like in the video, and appreciate that aspect, Fender CS all the way. My Buddy Holly Masterbuilt
