Hey, does anyone know why the Standard Strat has gone from 375 to 435 in Musician's Friend? And for that matter, why is it 600 on the Fender site? I am going to buy one, but the price just keeps going up.

Are those MIM Strats ? I just got an American Standard Strat and the price is much higher than that.

the strats i am referring to are the standard (mexican) strats. Theyre less than half the price and they are almost just as good as the American.

The only problem I see with the MIM Strats is that they don`t hold the value like the American made guitar. If your looking for increased value over time, the MIM guitar won`t bring you a return like the ones made here.

I just bought a black standard strat hss at guitar center for $370. It did not include the gig case. On Presidents day they had a one day sale. All MIM strats were $330. They did give me a $40 price adjustment. Good deal?
