It depends which specific models you are comparing.I own a few Mexican and U.S. strats and I find them all to be great guitars.The Mexican classic player 50s and 60s models are fantastic.They are custom shop designed.The workmanship is really nice,the wood is nicely contoured and playablity is great.The pickups are U.S. made and are also used in various U.S. made models so tonally these are the same quality.My favourite Mexican strats however are the Roadworn series.These really feel like older guitars with a wonderful woody resonance.After playing and sweating on thse for a few months,it is getting hard to tell the difference between these and a genuine vintage model.The U.S. models are really great too though not so much a superior guitar in my opinion...noy for the extra money anyways.Try a few out and determine which one suits your needs most.It's all about finding one that has a great vibe.I've learned not to judge a guitar by it's country of origin or price but rather on how it inspires me to play.
