Hey D-Dawn,
Have a look at this, Just another G&L voter that came on 1 hour ago.
Of course is you want a second rate Fender then look for a Fender that is owned by a Japanese consortium. Making Fender - The Japanese Fender Co.
And whilst Fender make nice Fenders, G&L Make Better Fender -s, that are American Family owned.

The G&L Jalopy
I showed thisun off at Wholenote earlier so I figured I might as well post 'er up over here too. It's a SC-3 by George and Leo from '87. I got it brand new for about $600.00 and it had a lot of extras that the $500.00 model didn't.
She may not look like much but she's a pleasure to play.
As a testament to G&L quality control techniques, this guitar has never needed a single repair of any kind (and, as you can see, it's been abused quite a bit). Nuthin wrong with it now either and I play it every day and have for almost twenty years.
For anyone considering buying a "real" Fender, you really should check these puppies out before you commit.
