Well the one I told you about is long gone. I can't remember how much that one was but the new ones are $650.00 for the MIM and the Custom Artist model is $2,200.00

I checked out the MIM on Fender.com and its looking really good. I think that the one I tried was the american version, but the MIM is no doubt a very fine guitar. I wonder what those "custom vintage pickups" sound like!
650 is not that much for such a mundane item :R

Just the other day, DVM or Tone, was just saying how the trem cavity was part of the signature strat tone:confused:
My mini strat is a hardtail...I like it, but makes me wonder why they dont make the fancy(RC) hardtail strats string through bodys?

I'm a bit confused with your replies.
My MIM is trem and yeah it does the signature Strat sound wonderfully you're right. Hardtails are going to be a different kind of spank. Think Tele spank but on a Strat...and yes the RCs are string through body.

Sure, a hardtail strat doesn´t sound exactly like a trem equipped strat, but its got qualities of its own. By losing the trem you get more mass (no cavity) which gives (and this is all my own opinion) a more full sound, and the sustain increases as well.
