I'd say the fender sounded ever so slightly brighter and cut a little better through the mix. But not by enough to make a significant difference you couldn't even out with the EQ of the amp
Both great tone-wise. I would take the Sire as it isn't sinfully expensive and has a more premium feel to it with it being lighter and all. Squiers nowadays have great craftsmanship and quality control. If you have a strict budget, Squier all day. If you have enough to dish more than $500, I think the Sire is more unique than the Fenders, and you get a lot more bang-for-buck when it comes to quality control and "premium" feel. Schecter Larry Carltons are nice too, but edge out the Sires in price. It's all subjective and would say they are all appropriately priced. What ISNT appropriately priced is the Custom Shop and simetimes even the professional series. They are nice guitars, but the bang-for-buck starts to go down the more expensive you get with Fender.
In my opinion the Squier is a bit more of a strat than the Sire. Sire is more modern take on the same type of guitar which leads to it being a bit more comfortable to play. I like the fact that you always have to "fight" a bit with a strat. It is not as ergonomic and comfortable and at least for me there is always this "struggle", but in a very positive way for me. I never get this feeling with Ibanez superstrats for example. An neither with Sire when I tried it. And I think I see that in this video in your case too - Sire is more comfortable and you can tell it by the way you are playing it. Both are great, but for me it is the classic.
I think the Squier looks more like a Strat. That said, you looked a little more comfortable on the Sire, as if you're a little less concerned with the instrument and more with the actual playing. Nice work!
What would guitarists talk about if they couldn't talk about tiny variances in tone that are unperceivable to their audience?
Music
@@bluwng hardly any guitarist talk about music
@@BeyondTigerMilk I was being facetious. Modern guitarist are a creation of bedroom guitarist on the internet.

I think the Squire sits in the background a little more but the Sire has that Larry attitude and enunciation which suits your chops.
Yeah, the mid-range from the Sire seems to cut through the mix! 🔥
You nailed it, exactly. Nicely said
I can’t tell much difference between the two guitars but I love your song!
Im the camp of they both sound fine n not different enough to start a war. Just go with the one that feels better in your hands…

Really interesting video ! Just found your channel - new subscriber !

Yeah, the 'authenticity' of the Squier is definitely a factor! I did find the slightly lighter Sire a bit more comfortable to play standing up though.
