Caevan O’Shite Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 So you got a maple neck MIM Fender Standard Strat, then? Cool, congratulations, enjoy it! What are you asking "why" about? Or, in French, courtesy of Google Translate: Ou, en Français, gracieuseté de Google Translate: Donc, vous avez un manche en érable MIM Fender Standard Strat, alors?

Perkunas Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Simus35, My 1974 Fender Stratocaster is a piece of rubbish compared to the MIM I bought last year. The 1996 Strat Ultra is great. Of the 3 guitars the 1974 is the most expensive. Then comes the 1996 Strat Ultra. By far the cheapest was the MIM. When I take a Strat to work it's either The MIM or the Ultra. They are different but they "talk" to me. If the guitar feels right and does what you want, then that is the guitar for you. Congratulations on getting a good Fender Stratocaster.

Bluesape Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Simus35, If you bought a new Fender in Kingston, I imagine it came from Renaissance. That's a good store, and I suspect one is more likely to get an exceptional MIM than a bad US one, as the QC should be still be more stringent in the US. That said, I've played some great MIM's, but they all had the pickups upgraded. As to the '74 that belongs to Perkunas, fit and finish have come a long way since the Nixon era, but I can't picture that axe not being tweak-able by the right tech. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
