Hello all, a newbie here!

I have been offered a Squier Telecaster which is made in Japan circa 1993-1994. Owner didn't know what wood the body is. Asking price is 450€.

Do you think this is a fair deal?

The guitar itself is a real beauty, white body, tortoise pickguard and maple neck. Propably with original pickups and tuners.

I've heard that those Squiers which were made in Japan in 90's are better than some Fenders, is this true?

Or would Squier Classic Vibe Tele '50s be a better bang for buck, it costs 311€ ?

Thanks in advance, Skip
