I'm assuming that you're talking about a MIM Standard Strat. If so......you've probably seen this question asked over and over about the MIM guitars. I think it's pretty much the opinions of most here, that they are very good guitars for the money. I have one (the HSS version), and have had it for about 4 years now and I'm very happy.

If you looking for specs on that guitar, it should all be in the same Guitar Center site and you have as a link.

Nice Strat!
I don't own MiM, but they are great guitars...
I own all MiA...
U can always upgrade/change electronics if u need to later...
like maybe the output jack & whatever else.

MIM's are great guitars, especially for the price. If you want more info you could go to some of the other major retailers, like SamAsh.com MusiciansFriend.com

My local Fender deal sells USA Srat Highway-1 series
for right at 6 bills and I don't think anything really
beats that. You'll tell the difference in build and tonal quality.
The tuners are better too. Resale will hold instead of the
150-250 they'll give you when you trade in a MIM when you
outgrow it in a few years....

I agree with the amount, but not the word "when". I hate to split hairs, but the word you should have used here is "if". MIMs are solid enough instruments that they often will never be "outgrown". At least mine certainly is. Save that comment for the Squires, I guess...

I agree. I've had various MIA, MIJ and MIM strats. While I prefer the MIA and appreciate the differences it has, I could get by with a good, stock MIM with no problem really. If you have a good MIM, you'd never really "need" another strat, although you may "want" to upgrade at some point.
