That’s how I got my Yellow Strat. They’ll go back down to that price again. They seem to run it every little while. Like most Mexican Strats a bit of fretwork is necessary. I’ve worked on at least a 100 by now. I don’t belive they level the frets after install. I’m sure other manufacturers don’t either and rely on the machining to get it close, but IME, EVERY fret install needs a bit of leveling. Some a lot.

But the bones of the MiM Players series is pretty good I think. And the paint, while a thick modern Poly, is usually Really good. If I had to pick the best thing about MIM Strats, the paint is pretty much flawless on em

Very solid guitars. I've had a Meixcan San Dimas for right at 10 years now. Got it from sweetwater for a little over $700. --> See profile pic

Yeah I have a 2019 I got “used” from the Music Zoo that I love. Did some pickup swaps and made it SSH and it’s amazing. Probably my most versatile shredder. And a great player to boot.

They're more expensive than this charvel deal but the korean schecter sun valley super shredders I think are better overall instruments. I got mine on reverb for $1000 in basically b-stock condition.

I've got the ziricote version and it plays better, has stainless frets, lumenlays and floyd 1500, etc. I swapped the trem for a Gotoh 1996T and put the Duncan Alpha/Omega set in there but it's just a really really good guitar though also quite heavy for what it is. I guess black limba is heavy?

I want to get my hands on the Indonesian version to see how it compares at around $700~800. The indonesian C1 EA hybrid I just reviewed on the channel is absolutely EXCEPTIONAL and I've already told my guy at Zzounds that I need an invoice for that one. :o
