Well yesterday I bought a MIM HSS Strat off craigslist from a guy who lost his job and needed some cash. Beautiful guitar! Its artic white and as for the neck and frets it plays as well as my american strat. Of course its not an american strat but for 250.00 plus hsc couldn't pass it up. Its a month old and still had stickers and plastic on the pickguard.

Verrrrrrry nice. Getting another Strat with some humbuckers is knawing at me. Making my own HSH w/ a Floyd Rose would be pretty cool (a pseudo Mick Mars signature model). That, along with a thinline Telecaster and I can be okay for a while ... I think...

That's a very great price considering it's just about a brand new Strat! Lost job? Well, unfortunately these things happen!

Your wrong - That IS a USA neck.

All MIM necks are made in the Corona, CA factory and assembled in the Ensinada factory.

What year is that guitar?

The neck could be MIA or MIM ...

Great find. Craigslist is a great place if you know what you're looking for.

I don't want you to be mislead. If that's a new MIM, then the neck was made in Mexico:

Hi Orville thanks for letting me know but what matters to me is that it feels great in my hands and sounds terrific. I know for some guys it does matter but not me. I bought it to play and I'm doin just that. :D
