Hello there windsong...
The fender made in China is cheaper than you think.I bought it for about 90 euro.The neck is great,thinner than the one the strat has and helps me better as I move along the frets.The sound is very good for a guitar at this price(for example it sounds better than a harley benton,stagg etc... at the same price)It has smooth,clear sound along the frets and I get along just fine with it.Maybe in the long run I will get one better...
I see that you are from Japan.I hear that the Ibanez electric is an improvement of a classic stratocaster.What do you think about that?I also hear they are very good instruments and that Japanese guys can play really well.One other thing.Have you heard of that Korean guy,funtwo?
Good luck to you too rocking and doing your thing...
