Mexican stuff is good these days and I like the look of the new Vintera II stuff a lot more than the previous Vintera line (the ocean turquoise 50s Strat… nice). Mexican Fenders approaching a grand always feels painful but that's just the cost of everything right now, isn't it. A few years ago Andertons & co were discounting the American Original 70s Tele Custom (the one with the CuNiFe neck humbucker) to about £1300. Now the equivalent ones (American Vintage II) are £1800-£2000. Really wish I'd gone for that guitar at the time.
