Fender Standard Strat HSS and Fender standard strat, is the only different the humbucking?
basically the fender standard strat HSS is $60 more than the Fender standard Strat MIM which is going for $900aus

Most likely is the humbucker difference. It is funny in Canada typicaly HSS goes for equal or less money than SSS

Why are you even bothering when Japanese fenders are so readily available in your country and a lot better than Mexican guitars?

how come they are better? im really new to guitars sorry...what makes them better overall just better made?

The japanese guitars are really well put together, no doubt because of their work ethics and excrutiatingly accurate attention to detail. They have always outclassed the mexican instruments and lower end american guitars too.

Hey curtcobain, I live in NZ and could help price wise- I hope forum member Mondo500 sees this and could give his opinion too- I think he is in Sydney. One thing I have to ask- are these new or secondhand?

I think a little more info would be great. $900 seems ok, though I wouldnt buy at that price used. If it was secondhand and perhaps played a couple times and put away, then I would. I allways negotiate.

As the Ninja has said, you can get yourself a good japanese instrument if you wanna do some digging at ebay.com.au- if your after an Hss config, well I saw a floyd rose fotoflame a guy was selling in brisbane for less money I think- allbeit that guitar was about 15yrs old but looking pretty good for the age

if you can give more info or pics, that would be great
