Quick verdict
Choose the Fender if you want classic Strat character, strong resale value, and familiar feel. Choose the Ibanez if you want modern precision, premium hardware, and a faster refined neck.
Feel
The Fender Deep C neck feels familiar and comfortable. The Ibanez S-Tech roasted maple neck feels smoother, more modern, and very stable.
Tone
The Fender leans classic and glassy. The Ibanez is still single-coil based, but generally feels more polished and versatile for modern session work.
