Squier Mini Stratocaster vs Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage 50s Stratocaster: which should I buy?

Buy the Squier Limited Edition Mini Stratocaster if keeping costs down is your priority; consider the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage 50s Stratocaster if your budget comfortably stretches further. Try both before deciding, as price alone cannot establish which suits you better.
The Squier Limited Edition Mini Stratocaster in Competition Orange has a best listed new price of £159, compared with £2,599 for the Fender American Ultra Luxe Vintage 50s Stratocaster MN in White Blonde. That makes the Squier the clear budget choice, with a £2,440 difference.
The supplied information does not include specifications or playing impressions, so it cannot establish how their feel, sound or construction compare. Do not assume the Fender is the better purchase for your needs simply because it costs more.
Choose the Squier if affordability matters most. If you are considering the Fender, try both and decide whether its playing experience justifies the additional outlay for you.
