Have the prices of MIJ almost reached the prices of originals?
Please prove me wrong.

You can pick up a used Goldstar or Fernandes Revival Strat up for 350 pounds in the UK a good bit less than a USA Fender and IMO as good or better.
If Les Pauls are your thing there are plenty of options still too, I would take a early '80's Greco Mint Collection at 5-600 over a Gibson at twice the price any day!!
The days of paying 700 quid for a EGF-1200 are gone though but you can still pick up plenty of MIJ bargains!

The Mexico Tele with US-pups is a Tokai-slayer.

Which Tele is it? I briefly had a MIM 60s Tele, & it was very unimpressive - not a patch on a typical Breezy.

Koubayashi said:The 52 Baja Player or what it is called. Those that comes with American PUPs. And the Roadwoarn are really good too.

Is that the pine bodied Tele?

Nice 8)
DaveWW said:Wow - that does look impressive. Will be interesting to get the details below the published details. Only a few of the cost cutting measures are evident on the details page. I'd like to try one!
