This is a great video I came across on YouTube.

NextLevelGuitar explain the differences between the american and mexican Stratocaster.

I love the Mexican Fender Stratocaster but it can be a bit confusing when you try to select the right one to buy.  The idea of this site is firstly to pay maximum respect to my favorite guitar, and secondly to have a look at the different models available to best select which one suits your budget when you come to buy a Mexican Fender Stratocaster.

I hope you find some useful info here on the site, if you have anything that you would like me to add or want to put up a picture of your personal favourite Stratocaster then please email me.  

1.What is your budget?
It may sound like the most obvious thing, but if you don't set your budget before you start looking to buy your Mexican Fender Stratocaster then you might get a bad case of GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome)! Stratocasters are nice, Mexican Stratocasters are shiny, and it is very easy to keep going over your budget.

2.Do you want to buy a new or used Mexican Fender Stratocaster?
Personally I like the feel of being the only person who has played a guitar. Other people I know love an instrument with a bit of history about it. If you are buying a used Strat then I would always recommend going to see it and play it first. When buying a new one you can buy online and save yourself a bit of money. Finding a cheap Mexican Stratocaster is always welcome.
