You do have a good point . Maybe I need to take a step back and look at this from another perspective . In my personal life , I am also the go to guy with family and friends . There are a few at work who give off this vibe that they don ' t think I do much . Comments from a few have lead me to realize how they view me . Although , like others have said , it probably shouldn ' t bother me since they aren ' t management . <| sep |> Thanks , I know about it , but people here are still using imgur . <| sep |> There ' s absolutely a difference in playability and tone . The Squier pickups are muddy at times and the neck , as good as it is , will never be as comfortable as the Mia neck , alongside having higher quality parts . Still excellent guitars , it ' s silly to think of someone as lesser because of the name on the headstock .
