OWK, I think the Indonesian and the China Strats are NOT a good buy. The MEX Strats are okay. I agree that the Yamaha Pacificas are decent. The Korean Epiphones are pretty good, and the Korean Schecters with set necks are very good for the price.
The MEX Strats are okay Certainly preferable to the oriental ones.
After looking at all the Strat copies, I went with the Pacifica.
It didn't really cost much more, but was a much nicer neck and action.
