Hey all-

What's your take on made in Mexico Strats vs. American? I just received a brochure from Guitar Center, and the variety of Strats is mind boggling.

I'm looking for a Standard, 3 single coil, 1 master volume, 1 master tone. I did test a Strat Deluxe MiM, tone sounded great but it had a push button pickup switch; just a weird button popping out of a hole. I want a Strat that looks like a Strat. I prefer maple over rosewood necks on Fenders- the tone always seems brighter to me.

Any opinions are appreciated.
