Heck, the $179 Squire is pretty darn close to the high end model as well, particularly to people outside our world who really don't know the difference. Quality and value mean different things to different people. That is the beauty of it all. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12750 Location: Boise, Idaho | Originally posted by colt357: Smart as a guy who doesn't know how to spell Boxster, much less compare it to a Miata. Smart as...who? Actually the analogy is a good one. If you want a 2 seat convertible, the Miata is a perfectly good car. For some reason, Boxsters have the highest customer satisfaction rating for sports cars, though. If Mazda or Porsche made both models, they would compete against each other, something the car manufacturers try to avoid, but guitar manufacturers don't seem to. | ||

Fender forums are usually full of "is the American Strat worth the money over the Mex Strat?", etc., etc. The ping-pong ball goes back and forth between the camps. Roger | ||
