in my opinion, the sound between an American and a Mexican, now this could be completely wrong for certain guitars, but for the most part the big difference lies in the weight, feel, and finish, rather than the sound....i have two MIM strats, one is a regular strat from 1999, and the other is road worn...the 1999 strat has a maple neck, the roadworn is rosewood....i spent 300 on the regular and about 900 on the roadworn and i would give it back in a heartbeat...my 1999 plays so much better, it is the best feeling neck i have ever felt, and stays in tune ALWAYS...just go somewhere and play the guitars....dont buy it unless you absolutely have to play it because the neck feels so good, and the sustain is how you want it...

Cool, thanks for the info. I think I'm gonna' go for a Mexican then, seems the best choice for the next few years :L

make sure you play it first...like i said, this is a truth that i have found with my own experience....someone on here may say im wrong and you may decide to agree with them...or you could agree...just make sure you play it first so you arent stuck like me and my mim roadworn lol....and also, i personally would buy a used guitar...the oldest and cheapest i can find

i would look for an 80's model fender or squire, might be tougher to find but are quite cheap and are great guitars
