I suggest try around. Nothing worse then ordering 1800 doller guitar and have it not play like the one u tired last year. Although sounds are comparable (not alwasy), playability rarely isnt. With that said...i suggest try the mexican line fenders or highway 1 fenders. I feel that my first guitar (mexcian strat) was good, but i would diffenetly recommand new tuners, as i can go out of tune with one bend :eek:
