I've noticed that most new Fenders seem to have "Neck Migration Issues." As in, every time their's a major weather change (like summer/spring), the neck needs adjustment. Especially on the Mexican models. But I've played some really kick ass Mexican Fenders, so if you got a good one, very cool for you.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the mexican strats are sent back to the USA for set-up and inspection and many are if not all are the same necks, body, pick-ups etc. as the American ones except they are put together in mexico as it is cheaper, however they are painted/sprayed in Mexicao. But as I say not fully sure on these facts.
I own Both USA strats and Mexican ons and a Korean Squire tele(not bad for £130.)
The mexican is as good as a lower priced Strat, However if you want the quality you pay the price £1400 sounds alot till you own one and play it, you only get what you pay for.

I own a mexican fender, it's a good guitar only the neck is damaged a little, some of the varnisch is vanished.
A friend also got a mexican fender, but his one isn't as good as mine.
Also the frets must be replaced.
I don't like the sound of the bridge pickup.
I'm going to buy a new american series or let one make it.
It's expensive but in the end you get what you pay for, i like the strat sound.
Lately i saw two guitarists, one with an fender and one with a japanese guitar. No guitar can beats the characteristic strat sound(in my opinion).

My four string is an 81 Korean made Fender J Bass. It's the nicest I've ever played. I'm not kidding when I say that it beats up on Warwicks that sell for 5x the prices. I really and honestly beleive in trying every guitar on the rack. Atleast as far as Fender and most big brands are concerned. You can often find a real gem by giving that $200 POS a chance.
