I was trying to find an "apples to apples" comparison. If anyone wants to jump in or add a link, I would appreciate it. Looking for my first electric, and I cant see any other reason to buy anything else other than a Fender. Price point is not much of an issue for me, not that I've got stacks, but I don't mind spending more money for something of better quality (regardless of my inability to play). Plus, price is what you pay, value is what you get. A little collector value doesnt hurt either.

Thanks!

Hey you get what you pay for. New Fenders are all awesome. You cant go wrong no matter which one you choose. You get upgraded parts on US models. And more choices in finishes.
