I've never head that concerning laurel (I've never used it). What did it do to your fingers?
My luthier friend replaced it with rosewood.

Ok, so today, I got to stop by my favorite "mom & pop" guitar store, and handle both. Before I touched either, I could see the difference. After handling them, I see where the money went. The fit and finish of the Fender vs the Squier was like the difference between a Ruth's Chris Sirloin and a Big Mac. Simply no comparison. I could saw wood with either edge of the Squier neck. (Fixable, I know.) But even the finish and quality of the hardware was obvious. One of the Fender Mustang's I looked at was $1200. And it looked, and felt it.
BTW, (in reference to ehdwuld's comment), it was a strange orange color, with the thin-thick-thin racing stripe. Ala, old Toronado's or Cyclone's. I kick myself for not taking a pic. Maybe I'll go back tomorrow.
So . . . given my skill level, and budget, I'll probably do the Squier. I can do the fret dressing and electronics, and my luthier friend can do the final setup. But It will never look, or feel, like the Fender.
If I win a scratch-off, this may change.

My Squier became quite the instrument after I redid the frets, sanded the neck, and swapped out the tuners, bridge, and electronics.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why
