Hi there,

Searching for inexpensive stratocaster guitar, and chosing between two models:

http://www.squierguitars.com/series/sta ... ansparent/
http://intl.fender.com/en-RU/series/mod ... ansparent/

These both guitars turned me on by their non-traditional looks - flame maple tops and pure mahogany is not typical to Fender / Squier.

Fender is 100-150 bucks more expensive than Squer Standard Strat, but I wonder - whether there is a huge difference in quality between them?

What do we have in fact?

- Maple + rosewood 'C' necks on both
- Aghatis vs Mahogany
- Noname pickups on both (will be upgraded to Fender SSS set, whenever I chose Squier or Fender)
- Two-point trems on both

So, is there any noticeable difference between these two models? Who has tried both?

Thanks.

To minimize potential regrets, and since you indicate you would be changing the PU's anyway, it should come down to, which one feels the best to YOU!! Many suggestions and opinions that might be provided, should not be the basis for your final decision. Hopefully, you have the opportunity to try both, or atleast, one of these. And if only one, how does it feel to YOU. Then; does your experience align with feedback provided to you by others? Good luck.
