  1. a few problems with your column here:
    American Fenders are more expensive and higher quality than Japanese. There are also Korean-made Fenders now (even cheaper than Mexicans).
    Squier is not a model of Fender in the way that telecaster and stratocaster is - it’s a cheaper sub-brand. Don’t forget about Jaguars, Jazzmasters, Esquires, Mustangs…

    Just because most people use Strats, doesn’t mean they’re the best - they’re just more popular. Teles are beautiful guitars and sound DIFFERENT. They’re a joy to play and I personally prefer them. My mate prefers strats - it’s just about choice.
