Pity. He WAS a decent looking young man some 50 years ago.

Three things I believe have no rightful place on a Stratocaster:
Gold hardware
3 position switches
Mint green pick guards

Each of those things is a deal breaker for me. OK, well maybe not the guard.


And to think I once intended to bequeath this to you in my will......

A pity.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Okay, yes an American model is a good idea, but many of the MIM's are fine playing guitars as well. (Try to find one with upgraded pick ups, like the Jimmy Vaughan).
As to the board, rosewood is usually more newbie friendly, but don't turn your noise up at a maple if the price is right, but the medium jumbo is more important then the board material.


Thanks for the advice! I've looked at some of the non-American made strats before. Besides pickups, why are these guitars a lot cheaper? Just general construction? Also why the medium jumbos? Just curious.

Thanks for the advice guys!


The labor cost for one. the Mexican ones use the same wood, it's just cheaper to build them there. The pots and the pick ups, and the tremolo block are lesser then the American ones/
Not to say there junk, there not.
But by the time you "Upgrade" that Mexican model, you could have bought an American model.

There is also string spacing differences as the Mexican is metric and the American is still in Inches.

But in the long run, if it's a good player, it's a good guitar no matter is MIM or MIA.
