Between that and the 60's CV Strat in Burgundy Mist, I'm tempted to spend money. Not good.

Is there a huge difference sonically between the two? The only Strat I've ever used was a Bullet so I don't know the difference between Alnico Vs vs. the 3.

I think maple neck strats can sound brighter but a lot of maple neck strats back in the day also had ash bodies if they were sunburst...

The neck didn't feel as nice as the Fender.

Are you comparing the Squier to the Mexican Fender (9.5" radius neck) or the American one (7.25")?

I thought all current USA Strats were 9.5" apart from the specific vintage reissue jobs, same as the Mexican Strats.

i think they're talking about the thinline teles which are indeed reissues with 7.25"
