I know man, I've mentioned my old 90s MIM strat before, the idea of dropping £1k on one these days doesn't sit right with me. I know i'm just getting old though... plus I'm sure the newer ones are way nicer than the first ones. The hype at the time was that they were just MIA spec but built in Mex, but that clearly isn't/wasn't the case. Heavy multi piece low grade wood, cheaper hardware, ceramic pickups etc. Even Squiers have alnico PU's these days.
We are witnessing the era of £1000 Mexican Fenders, unfortunately.
Gibson just dropped some custom shop korina flying Vs and Explorers that Andertons of Guildford, Surrey are asking nearly nine grand for.
