That being said, it's not the most affordable guitar. I have to say that Carvin/Kiesel guitars are probably the bang for the buck. They are really well made and extremely reasonable for the price.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The made in Mexico standard strats are oftentimes just as nice as their USA counterparts.  But if you want a genuine USA, I'd recommend looking on eBay and finding one from around 2000 (giver or take a year or two).  They were making them just as good then as they are now, and you can often find them for around $750, which isn't much more than the new standard strats, which are running around $600 if I remember correctly.  I used to love playing strats and have owned quite a few USAs and MIMs.  My favorite were the MIMs with Floyd Rose bridges.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have decided to buy a new electric guitar.  I currently have a Squier Bullet Strat. I like to play indie/alternative and rock. I have a couple of questions:<br><br>1. Is it worth getting a new one? I know this is a question of opinion, but I want to know if my Squier Bullet is a decent enough guitar, or if getting one with higher quality one with more features would benefit me.<br><br>2. Has anyone seen any good guides on choosing a guitar? I want to get a Fender strat by the way.<br><br>3. Is there a specific line of Fender guitars (i.e. American Deluxe or Artist) that would be very cost-efficient, but also have good features?<br><br>4. I was looking at the Deluxe Players Strat, but is it worth the upgrade? What is even the difference (other than the advanced switching) between the one I have now and any other guitar?]]></content:encoded>
