Sheesh, were does he expect us to get our $800.00 Fender Guitar ($400.00 for a MIM 'Standard' Fender) knockoffs for $110.00 at? Or the Gibson-Epiphone Les Pauls? And every other Name Brand musical instrument, huh Duncan!
Sheesh, think of the children. Now instead of being able to afford music lessons they'll join gangs, sell drugs and wind up in prison!
~~~ sarcasm OFF ~~~
In the interest of Full Disclosure, I DO own a couple Made In China guitars - they ain't all that bad. For beginners and intermediate players, they're perfect (but I'm selling them to buy another REAL Fender).
"I'm selling them to buy another REAL Fender"
Would that be the Mexican version?
I had a Mexican Strat, $375 new and it sounded pretty darned decent.
OK, I know El Stratocasteria is not the true Strat.
