Theres normally some pickup differences, and some wiring differences to the strats, I`m not 100% on all the differences between the models you`ve listed, although, I`m pretty sure you`ll be able to get a Standard Strat USA model for around that price, check out http://www.thomann.de they have very good prices on guitars.

Ok! Tnx
Do they ship to Sweden? Is there really a big difference from the Mexico built strats, or just the price? |

For your price range and being in Sweden I would highly recommend trying to find a Japanese 1972 Reissue. These guitars are incredible sounding and possibly the best Fenders to come out of Japan. Many reviewers have said the Japan '72 is actually built better than most Mexican stratocasters and the materials used are comparable to US (schaller tuners etc.)
I may be wrong on some of the details but the guitar is great. Since it comes from Japan it is shipped internationally and you may be able to get it where you live better than any USA strat (which are the best stratocasters BTW).

G&L may be better than a Mexican Stratocaster but saying it's better than a USA strat is a little silly. Especially when you consider USA strats come in varying degrees upgrades and makes and so does G&L. Dollar for dollar G&L fender USA has always been able to produce a better instrument. And yeah, blindwillie I'd say on the whole a USA stratocaster is better than any Mexican strat. And I have owned several of each. In fact, a Mexican tele was my first real guitar and I loved it but every single USA tele I've seen has better fit, finish quality, tuners, pickups, etc. HArdtail -------------------- Beginner's Amp & Guitar Gear Guide My Keeley Blues Driver BD-2 Review My Line6 Flextone II Review Guitars: Martin D-16RGT with B-Band UST & '99 Fender "Big Apple" Hardtail HH Strat Amps: Fender Blues Junior Special Edition & Fender Studio 85 (Simultaneous... yummy) |
