Apache - Squier v USA Fender demo

One or two people asked if I would compare high end Fender with the Squiers, so being as I worked out how to do it here we go.
I used my Squier Classic Vibe 50s, a Chinese Squier Strat and my USA Fender AVRI for this comparison.
The guitars are all nicely set up and are used in our shows, so no favourites here.
One thing is certain, there is NOT £1650 difference between them. ;)
Boss Katana 100 head, DI into desk (though any decent amp will do) with the Alesis Microverb. What you see is what you get and anybody should be able to get this sound with this kit.

Well that proves it, Dave. :D Most decent Strat copies can do the job, with a good set-up, reasonable Alnico pickups, & a little knowledge of Hank's style & technique. ....... And, of course, the talent to be able to play that way.
Well done, pal, & thanks for showing us the way.

Cheers, Tony.

I did a few more that will be added, using the Squier Classic Vibe against my fiesta red Custom Shop jobbie.
This time I used my 1960 Watkins Dominator with the Alesis Microverb 4 and I like it a lot. :)
Here's MIDNIGHT.
