If I had that sort of money for a Strat I would probably buy a Tokai instead:

That's probably just because I've decided that 1980s Japanese copies of American guitars are my thing, but they're highly regarded for the price.

Is that because the MIM Fenders aren't that great? I was mainly looking at a Fender as it seemed sort of right if I wanted a Strat to get a Fender one, but they get quite pricey.
I've looked at a lot of the selling sites, but there's basically too much choice! I just wanted a tobacco sunburst Fender Strat and once I started looking the list is endless, and sometimes with eyewatering prices...

I'm looking at getting a Fender Stratocaster, to play some Hendrix and Frusciante type stuff and generally to improve my playing by doing something a bit different from what I play at the moment. But, I've not been part of the buying/selling cycle or bought a guitar for 20 years, so I'm a bit clueless.
Does anybody know if this is any good for the price?
