Hi there, I'm new here and tried to find a thread with this comparison but could not find one.

I'm looking to buy one of these two guitars:

http://www.fender.com/en-CA/squier/seri ... ed-jaguar/

http://www.fender.com/series/classic-pl ... -sunburst/

I've tried them both at a local store and to be honest the Squier (the one hanging anyway) seemed to be better built, the neck looked tighter and there were no surface blemishes, whereas the Fender had paint issues and a poorly fitting neck. I think the Fender was made in Mexico, and the Squier in Indonesia.

Having said this..I know very little about guitars..the Fender is over twice the price. I can afford it, I just wonder if it is worth it. Can someone outline the actual differences between the guitars..is it the wood used and pickups that make the difference? They sounded different but I could not qualify which was better, I'm new to electrics. Does the Squier go out of tune more easily, or are there more likely to be problems down the road?

Thanks for any help.

Tremelo, bridge, and pickups are the main differences.

Thanks. So does that mean the Squier is more likely to go out of tune, or be harder to get in tune in the first place?

Pickups I'm guessing the Fender would sound better to a more seasoned player?

The wood is basically the same then I assume?
