Post by Daza152 »

A seriously serious question as these are the two options I'm looking at, ok I know it comes to price etc....etc... but you your opion what is a better buy long term..... if I'd ever need to consider an upgrade for my needs and they are similar money too. Thoughts....... :thumbup:

The MIM says "Fender" on it, the other one doesn't.

The guitar doesn't know the difference, it's just a resale thing.

But if you're not planning on re-selling it soon, then that makes no difference.

There’s a daphne blue MIM on Facebook that looks good.

That said, I maintain the best strat I’ve ever played was my Squier Deluxe, sonic or daphne, forget which. But the neck was frikkin beautiful!

Basically anything 2007ish or newer. Vintage modified, classic vibe - you can’t go wrong. Standard fine too but classic vibe nicer. You’ll be buying used unless Dave can do you a mean deal.
