I have been looking for about mouth now. It definitely will be used.GuitarsCanada said:You may be able to get into a used US made Strat for what you would pay for a new MIM. Might want to sniff around a bit.
Stay away from squire then??GuitarsCanada said:Will keep my eyes open for you. Never know what may pop up.
yep that one.TimH said:do you mean nitro-cellulose finish? I doubt you'll find that on a "cheap" strat.

Are the squire strats any good at all? Or should I just look at Mexican Strats. Since I can't really afford a USA one.
+1 unfortunatly it's pretty hard to snag one up for $200 these days unless it's an unusual model. I just grabbed one for $525 US and it is beat up and needed TLC, it's now my favorite guitar:bow:guitarman2 said:If it were me in the market I'd try to find a good deal on an old Japanese strat from the mid 80s. They were great guitars. I bought one back in 1985 but let it go because I preferred to play Teles. I then picked up a nice one about 5 years ago for $200. I ended up selling it due to lack of playing it, but wished I had kept it.
Yeah that figures. The one I had a few years ago was in great shape. I knew I should have kept it. I liked it better than alot of American Standards I've played.SCREEM said:+1 unfortunatly it's pretty hard to snag one up for $200 these days unless it's an unusual model.

I was trying to find information such as what's kind of wood in the body and neck. There's all kind's of different model's and want to see what's different about each one . There's one even with a battery (I think it's a mid range boost).Robert1950 said:I've seen MIM strats for $350-375 on Craigslist. Once there was one for $200. Didn't last long/
Oh, how true. When I was looking a year ago, I went through some 25 or so. All seemed different. Good ones, mediocre ones, duds. I still kick myself for not getting the one that really sang to me - a used G&L Legacy. A couple have come close - a MIM at 12th Fret and a Hamer Daytona at Capsule, but I'm in no rush.auger said:..is finding one that calls out your name...so to speak...and when you test drive it,,,you will feel the vibe or mojo as some would say....in the particular guitar...
