The American series Fender guitars are twice as much as those made in Mexico, and considerably more than Squier guitars.
I would know, my dad paid $550 for my black Mexi-Strat for my 18th birthday. The Contemporary (lefty) Strat looks great, but the Affinity Series is cheaper with an Alder body.
Wow, I’m gonna derail this thread like this.
I have a 1957 Custom-colered Strat. Lake Placid Blue. But,,,, ya know what? I like playing my Fifties Kay even more! It roars!
Yup!
Now you've awakened the Ford/Chevy folks as WELL as the Mac/PC dudes; too!!!
