Not played one , but these are the mex version of the old USA variety they did a few years ago. Well, you know the score - texas specials in a Mex Strat. I've got texas special in one of my Strats and they're nice - more mids and i'd say better for dirty sounds...not quite the same sparkle on clean sounds but they still sound stratty enough. I've only heard good reports from the peeps on HC forums that have had them. I'd say go for it!!!

Bottom line- It takes motor skills and practice to develop fast clean playing but a brain to use it wisely and rock guitarists are still recovering from the 80's.
All in all sound is in the ear of the beer holder

I'm normally a Rosewood-board fella but that does look good. And I've never seen a bad Mexican Fender

There's a white Jap strat in the classifieds in the latest mag - it'll be cracking and is cheap too.

If it's not already gone, then you should buy it.
