Hi,

Have any of you owned or tried a Mexican Sambora strat? I'm thinking about getting one off ebay but have only tried the USA model (which I loved but was too much money). Any ideas how much they were knew? Also, anyone know what neck it's got, is it the standard C shape?

Thanks for reading!

Jim

I did some work on one about two years ago. This MIM model had a DiMarzio PAF humbucking pickup in the bridge position and two standard single-coils in the neck and middle positions. The guitar also sported a soft C-shape neck, rosewood fingerboard with 21 frets and white dot inlays, as well as a Floyd Rose II locking bridge.

Both the US and Mexican-made Sambora models were discontinued in 2002. I think they went for about $500 when new, IIRC ?

Thanks for the info. There's one on ebay going for £450. Think I'll get a MIM Strat after reading up on them on the forum. Sold my USA strat to by an Ibanez when I went through a big shred phase and wanted to be Vai!!! Regretted it ever since but can't afford a USA strat at the moment. I've tried a couple of Mexican strats and have been really impressed, they play really nicely.

Cheers

Jim
