That's not how this works, not how any of this works.
Quality might vary (which it does with American made fenders as well....) but these are not B stock.

The 75th has different pickups, possibly from the Vintera range, and a painted headstock and unique paint, but I think they're the same otherwise.
I like The 75th more, it looks more upscale.
774 player = 529 used
849 75th = 679 used
Seems about right.
If you don't play though, you could probably grab a squier off facebook market and it would look just as cool to most.

Excited to finally have a true Fender strat! And I loved the LPB color on my Duo-Sonic, so this will make up for my error of letting that one go, although I didn't like the neck as much as my tele. The shorter scale was good but felt too thick.
The telecaster I got from this deal was brand new and in perfect "new" condition - though it did need minor adjustments like every guitar will (unless built next door, the wood will change a bit when acclimating).
It arrived in a fender factory sealed box , which was sealed inside an adorama shipping box.
The maple fretboard is really fast and I haven't encountered any "sticktion". I usually prefer a "rosewood" type fretboard, but I have zero complaints about this all maple neck.
The color is a 60s style "sparkle" metallic blue, reminds me of old dirtbike helmets and the vinyl seats of fair rides. Coupled with the chrome hardware, blonde neck, and white pickguard, these guitars give off a very 60s race car kind of vibe in opinion (very cool, slick, and fast looking - I could see one of these leaning against Steve McQueen s couch).
I have done luthier work for about 15 years now. In most cases of someone wanting to replace one type of pickup with a different model of the same type due to not liking stock pickups (replace single coil with aftermarket single coil) we have been able to find "their tone" with pickup height experimentation.
Be methodical about it, find the general height by making bigger adjustments, then fine tune near that area. Remember to try to balance the volume output of each pickup/ switch position. Also remember to try all your go to tones with different heights (at the very least make sure you try the configuration in your go to clean and overdriven tones). And lastly try not only all your different styles of playing but also at different parts of the neck to make sure the tone will work for what you like to do.
Experiment and find out what works best for you. although it reads like quite a bit of work this process usually takes around 45 mins for a first timer, and 15 or less for someone whose done it a few times.

Wait until Fenders wood stock needs replenished at 10x the cost.
Get ready for official Fender aluminum guitars.
And have you noticed all of the recent Fender Made in Japan guitars? It might be economical to use them again.
