Fender Player II best value out there imo. Be prepared to do fret work as every Mexican Fender I've ever owned has fret sprout and rough fret ends. I own US and Mexico made Fenders / have owned China and Indonesian Squiers. Chinese Squiers are better made and more consistent than Indonesian ones. If you've ever seen a Squier stripped of its finish its fairly shocking (check out 60 cycle hum). There is a veneer with many pieces of wood sandwiched in-between. My US made Strat is made of better materials throughout. The overall feel of the instrument is inspiring. There are valid reasons each guitar cost what it does.
Great video! very interesting comparative, and beautiful guitars!

@@HughCoxx Thank you!
Sorry I had a brain freeze while recording, the CV Strat body is made of Poplar.
