I like Foreign made Strats better than American made Strats because they are better.

MIM, MIJ, MIK....they are all better than MIA strats.

This is because they have foreign made components.

Hopefully I can find an MIM body to put my collection of MIK hardware in.

What do you guys think about that?


Hope you find the right guitar. Better is a realitive term but as long as it plays and feels right to you that is all that matters. Good luck on your endeavors. Can you post pics when your done?

HAHAHAHA. gotta love this mans dryness.

I actualy think given the suspected stipulations and definate limiting of hardware fender put on their overseas builders, it would be junk. Like our cars.

we dont give a toss overhere mate.

heres one (for the best part)

You should come and try it, it holds up to my 57hotrod and custom classic. Infact i play it more than either.

Labour costs of uk guitars would dwarf customshop relics if they were to be mass produced. note manson

Sorry but I have to disagree. The Stratocaster is an AMERICAN invention, any foreign made Strats are just copies of a great idea that was developed here.

I cant even imagine thinking chrome plated hardware is superior to stainless steel, but go ahead.Necks are certainly better in the MIA, although some of the higher end MIM necks are pretty nice.You get to the custom shop stuff and its a whole other realm.
