I am new to the guitar and have been picking it up at a decent pace. My current Squier is on the fritz and I'm ready to move on.

I am looking at either a new Classic Series 50's Strat or this:

This is a 2006 American Strat with Hot Noiseless pickups. I can get this US Strat for $750. My gut is telling me go with the US. The shop is a worldwide known dealer. The pictures are of the very same Strat.

Help.

I'd go with the American, especially at that price.

The American made guitar would be the best instrument. If you can afford it, there really is no question. It sounds like a good deal.

$750 for American? Go for it if it's in your price range.

Keep in mind that all necks and bodies are American made. (Per the owner of the local music store who's been to the Mexican plant.) The pups, hardware and finishes are what really set the MIA apart from the MIM.
