Not the Strat, but I bought the Tele, same price, and it's now one of my favourite guitars! Although the PUs were pretty good, I liked the neck and playability so much that I installed Fender Custom Shop Texas Specials. The result, it's the cheapest guitar in my collection but you'd never know it from playing and hearing it. I was so pleased with it, I bought the Ryder LP, beautiful finish and solid walnut body. A bit pricier than the Tele, thirty quid more! PUs really growl.
I used to be a guitar snob and turned my nose up at 'cheap guitars'. These guitars have changed my attitude completely (though I still love my Strats and Gibsons!)
