I appreciate your support. I feel that USA quality will always stand the test of time where as others willl not. I guess that is why all real players want a pre CBS USA Fender. Have a nice day everyone and keep playing!!!!

Corona is counting on you guys. I just hope they wake up every morning with fierce determination not to disappoint either one of ya'll, and also that they actually succeed in making the best instrument they can.
They have better facilities, and they have people with more training and they should be able to get help easier from the Big Dogs both in production and in the Custom Shop, if they have issues.
I have 3 MIM Strats, 4 MIA Strats;
I have 13 MIM Teles, and 18 MIA Teles. So I do buy the Corona product. But any blanket statement that one is great and the other is not, nah. Nah.
I guess the best advice is, do the buying yourself. Let you senses decide, not some fool salesguy in a store and not even us guys on the Board, either. You gotta pay for the guitar, and you have to look at it and play it. We don't.
Don't give an inordinate amount of service to "resales value" since we don't know what the future brings and above all else don't buy the "model" alone. Sure you can hone in on 2-3 models with the features you want but you're buying one, not 20, right? Get the "special" sounding and playing one unless you are offered a true once in a lifetime deal, in which case a darned good one will do.
