Hey all, new guitar arrived today straight from the US. Why the US and not locally in Aus? Cause the Blacktop RRP in Aus for $950. I could get it delivered from ProGuitarShop.com WITH a hardcase for $600. Even if it sucks (which it dont) I could still sell it for a profit and have another hardcase.

So: Here it is

Its my first MIM. And I must say I'm impressed. The finish is top notch, the neck isn't as good as my American Std Strat, but it's solid and smooth gloss finish. A LOT flatter but thats great for the bends :). The sound is FAT AS. And the belly cut is a nice addition (I wasn't expecting that). It needs a set of 10s and the intonation needs to be corrected (open D chord sounds like a trainwreck). But apart from that, at $450 for the guitar fender have built the most affordable rock monster ever. KUDOS to the Mexican Factory, they've done a stellar job, much better than I thought a $450 guitar could turn out. Really top knotch guys.

Now for some GnR tunes......

They sell for $450 in the stores around here without a case. I think it's a good deal delivered!!!!

I think MIM guitars are good quality for the money. I almost bought one but then I bought a used American for just a bit more. The MIM's all seemed very consistent in quality and I think you could do a whole lot worse. Heck, some guys that I trust their opinion even like the Squier Classic vibe teles and strats.
