Squier Classic Vibe Starcaster vs Fender Modern Player Starcaster

*Squier Classic Vibe Starcaster vs Fender Modern Player Starcaster* 2013 Fender Modern Player Starcaster (China, Aged Cherry Burst) vs 2019 Squier Classic Vibe Starcaster (Indonesia, Natural). Same offset semi-hollow idea, both dual-humbucker Starcasters — how close are they really? The Fender is heavier and meatier, with slightly warmer, rounder pickups and better pots and switches. The Squier is lighter, still well made, and costs a fraction of what used Modern Player Starcasters now sell for. Fit and finish are closer than you’d expect. *Timestamps* 0:00 Intro playing 1:15 Meet the two Starcasters 2:40 Playing both 4:30 Weight, feel & build 6:10 Pickups, pots & hardware 9:00 Which one is actually better? 12:20 Value verdict If you want the Fender badge and extra heft, hunt a used Modern Player. If you want almost the same guitar for a lot less, the Classic Vibe is the smarter buy.
