Fender Mexican Standard Fat Strat Electric Guitar Reviews
Make / Model: Fender Mexican Standard Fat Strat
Gear Type: Guitars
Cost / Purchase Detail: Paid $330 at Musician's friend. As a teen and in my 20's I played at an intermediate level and even made some good money on gigs at the local high school. I bought the Standard MIM Fat Strat to get that Fender sound, and chose the low end to limit my investment, since I now play only for personal enjoyment.
What you like: As I have found since buying the low end MIM model, there is some variance in sound quality between individual guitars. I was lucky and got a very sweet-sounding one via mail order!
What you don't like: No dislikes - a good buy for the money.
Construction / Quality: Quality and construction exceeded my expectations. This ax is built like a tank. Finish is not Rolls Royce, but is very nice. Setup was perfect out of the box - action is low and excellent playability. Neck is fast.
Bottom Line: If stolen I would replace this ax in a heartbeat. However, based on what I have learned since, I think I would buy from a local dealer where I could try and compare several of the same model.
Rating: 4 out of 5!
