:? I have the chance to buy finally a real americain fender strat. but the problem is i saw a second hand fender strat plus 1988 gun metal blue with maple fingerboard in good shape.everything on and inside are original. just the case is not original. asking price is 899$ (CND)

and a new one MIA standard is 1000$(CND)

can you give me some advise on both. i try both and both sound great. I heard the lace are very good and no hum.
thanks for the info :D

Did you play them and consider them yourself...... :wink: :?:

This is sort of like asking to shag two fillies you're interested in and wanting an opinion on which one... should you choose.... :?: :roll: :roll: :wink: :mrgreen:
YMMV

Hey- Some thoughts: --- The Strat Plus, being used, doesn't take the depreciation hit at
the onset. Walk out of the store with the new one, and it's
value drops by a coupla hundred in an instant. Also, the Plus
models are kinda collectable- more likely to increase in value
more quickly than a Standard.

--- I had a late 90s Plus Deluxe- Clear Crimson/Maple- and it was
a remarkable guitar. Lots of extras, and the woods used for the
body and neck seemed like they were a "cut above". The 88 in
question could well be a real head-turner.

since you did play both, and both sound great, which one feels the best? Which one "speaks" to you?

I agree, the 88 Deluxe is more collectable.
