Two debates going on here.
If a foreign company can make a strat style guit similar in features and quality, than I am all for it. Personally, I most likely would buy the strat just to support an American company and pay a little more. I am not really concerned with the $ becuase I am so weathly (checks 401K account :shock: ) I dont doubt that the MIJ/ CIJ strats are as good or better than the CBS strats of the same time.
If you buy a Chinese guitar that says "Fender Stratocaster" on the headstock, you are supporting a criminal enterprize, and most likely buying a piece of sh*t guitar. Even for only $200, a piece of sh*t guitar is a ripoff.

You know, i have played a Grecco Supersound 1975 before, and i thought it sounded almost the same as a 79 CBS hardtail that a friend of mine owns.

I would buy a fender if i had the money, or even a squier, over any other brand. Mostly due to the logo, and knowing how high the quality of the instruments are built on.

The middle screws on the trem spring cavity cover are centerd. On real strats one of the middle screws is off set.

Recently, a forum member told the story of buying a guitar from his Guitar Teacher. He had to sell it and then discovered that it was a fake! He ended up giving the buyer a $100 "rebate."

Moral of the story: not all Guitar Teachers are trustworthy!

well, maybe it's not that they're crooked, so much as more than a few like to portray themselves as masters of all knowledge about guitar, when many aren't very knowledgable at all.

Looks to me like all of the body edges on the black "strat" are too sharp. Could be the photos though. I think it's pretty clearly a fake -- I just hope no one was duped.


Still, it would be pretty sweet to have a REAL strat just like it...that gives me an idea...Warmoth here I come!
