Did you see this video? I did and found it interesting.

My immediate thought is that I would like this same test to be done on Tele style guitars from HB and Squire, to see if there is a difference.

Secondly I think Les Paul style guitars are a bit more complex to build compared to Tele or strat style, so I think it should not be such a problem on those guitars.

Still, it is worrying a bit, because you can tell the quality of the body wood is abysmal, and this guitar honestly seems like garbage material wise… so if I had ideas about getting an HB, i would likely not get it after seeing this video, which is a refreshing take after having seen so many videos praising HB.

Thoughts?

    sorry for the late reply

    yea my thought is, if you buy a squier then a huge chunk of that money goes into marketing and paying the fender C level. If you get an HB it’s probably the best price/quality ratio

    one thing tho is the neck. if squier’s CV necks are fenderish, then I feel like I’d have to choose them… still making up my mind eheh
