Having owned them all at one time or other, in my 47 years of guitar playing, the American Stratocaster is THE best guitar on the planet for the money. It is lighter than a Gibson Les Paul which is easier on the shoulder after those long sets. It’s classic design / looks are timeless. Out of the box it has it’s own distinct Fender sound as well. I have an ART 2000 which I ‘filter’ this guitar through and my sounds are limitless. I notice that another reviewer says to ‘save money and get the MIM

Do not buy Fender Mexican Stratocaster Electric Guitar 2001-2002 until you read what I have to say
Own it and played it many times. Been playing Strats over 40 years. Have 10 Strats including a MB. While the S1 gives a great boost for lead, the overall tone for the general guitar is moderate. Same for playability, no better than regular Strats, AM or MIM. Definitely Not any better than a $500 MIM Strat. It is indeed pretty, but playability and great Strat tone is what you are really after. The MIMs deliver the biggest bang for the buck best. Better to buy a MIM and save money. Note, there is no bad Fender Strat. Get one.
