In retrospect of my post, please don't take me wrong and get the idea I'm knocking MIA or MIM or MIanyfriggingthing! In fact, I have a particular liking for "Vintage" Strat copies (not even a Fender product, but made by an ex-Fender guy). They feel good. Just talkin' bout things. I still wear only Levi's jeans since I was 14 (I'm 46 :p) Sometimes only the brand will do!! Purely personal comments! :)
