Edit never mind, see it now....$550 for a USA made strat seems really reasonable. Don't know about that color though.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The more better models will sound better, but for that price, you will get a very good playing guitars. Try before you buy tho. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Mostly because I didn't really have time to think about it... I had to move back to my apartment to go back to school today thanks again guys, and based on the input from you guys, I probably would not have got the guitar, even if I did more spending money.
