Squier Classic Vibe vs Highway One Strat

I can't decide between the two.

Obviously the Highway is more expensive but forgetting the price which one would you choose?

BTW what it says on the headstock doesn't bother me

personally i find that the Hwy 1 is my perferred strat, above all others i've played.

that's just me. when we're talking the difference between $350 and $700 (or whatever it is) the quality differences are staggeringly in favor of the Fender for the increase in price.

CV teles are another animal.

I've been looking at strats lately and was impressed with a HWY 1 strat that I recently tried, the trem was set up floating and the sound was pure strat... I might get that one!

I think its a toss up. I went in to the local shop and tried some of the highway 1's and loved them, I think they are awesome. But I am a huge fan of CV guitars and have both strats and tele. If you can get a highway 1 at the right price then go for it. Otherwise buy a cv strat and a cv tele for the money

the CV's neck shape to me.. was the most comfortable when I compared it to a couple of MIMs.. the most important part is a neck you can bond with. quality wise.. they're both good
