Strat Shootout: Squier vs. Fender

In which I pit a Standard (Made in Mexico) Fender Stratocaster against a chinese-made Affinity Series Squier Strat. I'm trying to decide once and for all which one I like better. You'd think it'd be a slam dunk for Fender, but their bargain-brand model has a lot going for it too, like twang that won't quit. A better comparison would have been a Mexican Strat vs. an American one, but somebody wouldn't let me spend my family's economic stimulus check on one!My conclusion: they are almost neck and neck, but I prefer the Fender, obviously. But Squiers are pretty decent - I have lots of videos on here where I'm playing that one.That is a Vox AD50VT amp I'm playing through with a variety of clean and distorted settings. This whole video is really just six minutes of mindless self-indulgence and an excuse for me to go wheedly-wheedly-whee and convince guitar geeks to watch it.

Dude you suck balls.

Yeah I tried some of those they were good. I've played this Squier on a bunch of other videos on here and it sounds pretty good on a lot of them. The problem with this video is I had the amp turned way down because it was late at night.

None taken. I just had a problem with hum with a different strat I had right before this one, so I said "buck it." I wish this had a coil tap so I could still get the single coil sound in the bridge pickup. I plan to upgrade someday.

I have a Strat Squire exactly like the Fender Strat you have, except it doesn't have a humbucker or a floating whammy. The humbucker kinda' ruins the real sound of the strat, no offense or anything.

argh.. squier sounds horrible... A really great squier is the new Classic Vibe.Talking about Squiers, the old ones, made in Japan (15 years ago) werent good... they were great! I tested one this week and they were simply amazing.
