Well, I have a MIJ and I just bought a MIA Standard Strat.. they are different instruments in some aspects, but I really, honestly see no difference in quality. They´re both fine instruments. My MIJ has a very nice Neck. I have some friends who also play guitar, and they own Gibson´s, Strats and Charvel guitars..they all love my MIJ. When I bought it, they were very impressed.

The one thing I like better about my MIA is the finish.. I love that painting (Sienna Sunburst), and also my MIA has a Maple fretboard while my MIJ has a Rosewood fretboard..I like the Maple better..on the other hand, my MIJ came with a Floyd Rose bridge and a nice Foto Flame finish..even though I prefer the Sienna Sunburst finish, I got admit, my MIJ is far away from looking bad... The good quality of my MIJ Strat was not a surprise, since the Japanese guitars always had a very good reputation.

Wich one is the best..it´s something really difficult to say. I guess I´m a very fortunate guy..I have two good guitars ..the best of both worlds :D

I haven't read all thread entries but I would say that it always depends on the specific instrument and model. For example, a high end CIJ should be better than a standard MIM.

the late 80's strat plays much better and sounds better to me it is also light weight and the tele was heavey. i also like the strat because it look like a guitar thet can be played for any type of music i also hated the finish on the tele i had it looked really kiddish it wqas bright red and did not fit with my collection

I know all this to be true because I like them. I like them because they are better. I also know they are better because I like them.

Understand??

Yours cant be better (bigger???) than mine, because mine is mine and, as I've already determined, I like it.

Because I like mine better than yours, or even better than you like yours, mine must be better, despite that mine is both an MIA and an MIJ and an MIM and and MOA simultaniously.

So, you see. You are wrong and I am right.


This is truly outstanding!
