I went back to the pawn shop and the ash was MIM Special I think. The MIJ is teal green with very aged looking looking pickups that look like ceramics. The MIM looks better and sounds good unplugged. Thinking about swapping a Crate VTX 212 and maybe $100 bucks. We'll see what happens.
Go back and try get the serial number for the MIJ!!!

I actually have a suspicion that it is the mythic pawnshop prize!!

I believe the MIM is a 70's Reissue Strat.

I know it was said buy both, but if you can't do that than buy whatever feels better to you.

After all, you're the one that's gonna play it.

Hey fellas I looked closer at the MIJ at the pawn shop today and its got quite a few dings and scratches. I was told after swapping my Crate VTX 212 plus $259.00 we had a deal. The Crate is in excellent shape and only about 7 months old. The price marked on the MIJ strat is $399 and I thought that wasn't a good deal. What do you think? The serial number is E947027.

Well, you know what they say about when we "assume"....it makes an $@! out of u and me....

Considering I own an 85 MIJ Contemporary and know it it be worth $500+, I must agree and recant.

So, to rephrase....Unless its an "S-series" MIJ, its likely not such a great deal.

Man...I really wish Fender hadnt distributed so many different varieties of Strats. It really hard to keep them straight.


I have a 89 mij stat it is fine what is wrong with any mij people say they were made in good quality
