The candidates :
1) Fender Squier Bullet Stratocaster - Bought in 2018, haven't changed strings since 2020. Wanted to keep the comparison closer by not giving an upper hand here. Minimal setup done by self, action is low.
2) Juarez ST02 - Bought 3 months back. Stock condition, other than tuning , no setup done. Action is high, you can see me struggling to pick correct strings. Strings are rusted at delivery, but better than what my Squier has
