As someone who makes partscasters, you have no idea how much this turns me on.

Fanboys play Fenders. Fanboys play Gibsons. Musicians plays both.

It doesn't matter who they are made by as long as the working conditions and pay are fair and the products are quality. The problem is that this is not always the case.

Yes, I agree with you completely because my aesthetic sensibilities are greatly influenced by video games and modern graphics and that is why I like the RGA and S series the most. I also think that this may change over course of time, or maybe not.

Make one. Solid body electric guitars are child's play.

I'm just the opposite. Ibanez guitars, excepting the Artcores, are tacky. They are the kind of thing that would appeal to teen age boy who came by his aesthetic sensibilities by way of video games and television.

I don't know why but I find fenders to be extremely UGLY. I am not here to say that fender sucks, I know lot of famous musicians use them and they sound great, but just the looks in my personal opinion are super ugly, I love Ibanez for their looks, but I also know that they have inferior quality metal parts in their trem bridges, because i own one.

is the wood at least from america? i want an american made guitar made with american wood!

yeah the strat plus holds its money. i just seen one on ad site a 1996 its alight blue one with hss lace sensor pups and pearloid plate mint condition with case and all the docs and neck tag. he want £1,450 for it . that model is the same as the usa deluxe strats now. they say strat plus was one of the best built guitars. and now sort after. i should think the price is right for that model and year and condition is like new.
I see std usa ...
I see std usa strats bring £600 - 800 all the time, and now fender has added 2% to all its guitars they are holding up well, I had a deluxe strat before xmas but hated the noiseless pups, the lace censors in my plus are great though and sound just like single coils as they are not stacked they are a long magnet rather than pole pieces, a usa strat a few month old will get close to the asking price, as I would buy a guitar £150 cheaper than new any-day if it was months old

I sold the mex tele lol I now have 2 1990s usa std strats one of which is a limited edition with a fancy paint job and I also picked up a 1997 strat plus 2 weeks ago, it is inca silver but has aged to a nice green and the mother of pearl pick guard is aged nicely now as well, I like rosewood fret boards but I can live with the maple on the strat plus, I also sold my silverface bassman and bought a silverface vibrochamp which is really sweet for the home, it breaks up nice too
usa ones have ...
usa ones have superior electronics piclkups hardware. also bodies are 2 piece for deluxe and 3 piece for standard. mexs uses upto 5 pieces on the bodies. necks are better on usa strats hand rolled fingerboard edges and better fretwork. also usa standards and deluxe fender hold there money better. mexs lose half there value within 3 monthst. a 2006 mint usa strat with little use you can still sell for t £600+ for it. i no this as i just sold a mint 2006 strat for £625.
I just bought a ...
I just bought a brand new American Jazz bass online. It had an incorrectly cut nut causing it to buzz. Also, the neck wood looked like crap. Fenders slipping these days. I thought they set up and tested the guitars before they shipped them out. Disappointed.

It's apalling how people do not see the quality differences in Mexi's and Americans. I have has several Mexi's, and there is always at LEAST one glaring problem that Stevie Wonder could have seen on the quality control line. American's have never had this issue, But myself personally, I lean towards the Highway 1's or American Specials, just because the amount of wood that is routed out is minimal on the "lower end" Americans. And Texas Specials can't be beat!
