was wondering what changes between '60s and '70s models and if it's a "good" guitar

#

70's models are where you see the 3 bolt neck join - also larger headstocks. what do you consider "good"

#

the feeling of the Guitar and the tones, cause i havent tried em

#

im looking for a smooth neck, and warm sound

#

not as warm as the Gibson tho

#

you're comparing apples and oranges if you mean fender single coil vs gibson buckers. Play these in person through amps and see what you like. It's a $1k fender, it's a good guitar.

#

also you need to play a 7.5" fretboard radius to see how that feels. It's different and I don't know what kind of music you want to play. but shreddy on a 7.5", good luck

#

the vintera 2 seemed the best for that budget

#

i mean im still kinda a beginner but i wanted something to improve my gear but staying in the fender brand

strat

#

cause i live in italy and the second hand market is not so lively

#

otherwise id have no problem in that

raven loom
#

ah that is a consideration. market here is flooded.

#

what's a pro2 strat go for there?

#

2100€

raven loom
#

maybe look at the player2, it's $800. they'll be more like the pro2 than the vintera, which is like the made in mexico version of american vintage

#

many people honk the squire classic vibe but I've never played one so can't speak to it

#

i wanted to see at alternatives before going for it

raven loom
#

Vintera looks like more $$$ just because of vintage specs and marketing. Just depends what you want, but do try a 7.5" radius before committing if possible

#

oke thanks

#

besides the radius difference, would you say the specs of the vintera 2 are better than the player 2?

raven loom
#

not better just different, more like preference imo

#

I like the pro2 neck which is more modern than the vintage one but they are both fine

#

fender knows how to market

#

#

now that im in America ill try different guitars
