I really, really dig it. It's a great guitar for the money. It was designed by the Custom Shop, but it's made in Mexico, and it has US pickups (Fender Custom Shop 69's) and upgraded hardware. It's one step up (I think) from the old Mexi Deluxe's.
Anybody on a budget who doesn't want to go to the price of a Standard or Deluxe or Elite whatever they're calling it nowadays, these are great for the money. Street price is $799 but you can probably get them brand new for around 700 even by haggling. And you can find them used in the 600's.
Great feeling neck, really nice pickups, all in all very good player. Just a basic, vintage looking strat. I'd say this and the American Specials are both really good buys. I'll post some pics of it here in a second. Almost looks more Olympic White than Sonic Blue.
