Hi, I've just joined (from U.K).
I've got a Mex strat had it about 2 years. It is what it is. I'm a lefty so might have had different problems from other guys but the standard pick ups were prety much crap. I got some Vintage Vibes for the U.S. and it now sounds great(Highly recommend these PUs). I play for fun and do a few gigs a year and have had no problems. Don't get me wrong, I'll be getting a decent U.S. strat as soon as finances allow but I'm not sorry that I bought the Mex and anyone who buys it off me will be getting a good enty level/intermediate guitar.
