Re: Japanese Strat question
Thanks goodness!  
 
I thought anybody was going to answer my questions anymore...  
 
Bad feeling.  
 
 
 
Thank you Steve.  
 
 
 
Anyway, I was talking about a REAL Fender Stratocaster made in Japan.  
 
 
 
I saw one the other day, played it a bit, and it looked quite playable and well finished.  
 
The only "but" was exactly what you mentioned in your replay: thet's it, the pickups semt (is that the past of to seam?) quite weak compared to my american made Fender Bullet Deluxe. Actually a lot weaker. Smooth, but not enough output to my taste.  
 
 
 
It has a horrible (to me) skull on the pickguard, nothing that I couldn't mend with a new one.  
 
 
 
I would really like to hear something else about this japanese fenders, as I'm afraid it can be my next guitar:))  
 
 
 
Thanks again, Steve.
