I just got this guitar, & I instantly fell in love with how playable it is.It's not to heavy in weight, & the oversized 70's headstock has alway been my favorite...anyway, the tone is on the money with that classic Fender tone. I've already logged in a good 8hrs, in a matter of a few days. If your are looking for a great guitar, this is it. It's made in Mexico & the only real difference between a MIA vs MIM is the price, & one less fret on the MIM. It comes with a $200 set of custom shop pups which evens the playing field of quality specs...& still less expensiveYOU CANT GO WRONG.p.s. The Mexico factory has more guitarist making your strats, than the U.S. factory does, which means they know how to put that extra love of how it should be made & sound like. The Only thing I can say negative is that I wish the custom shop Texas specials came already installed in it, instead in a box with it..but that's it

Musical Background:

I've been playing since I was 15, & I'm 43 now

Musical Style:

Rock, blues
