Hi everyone,I've being playing guitar for a year now, started off with a nylon string classical guitar. I think its time to get a good electric guitar.
I wanted to get a Fender stratocaster for christmas.
The USA standard feels really good on hands and the neck is really smooth. But the USA standard is double the price of the Mexican one >< !
And I've read from other places that it tends to go out of tune a lot when using the tremolo. Is the tremolo better in the USA version ?

I also took a look at the Ibanez SA220 which is much cheaper and has a nice look. But I dont like the sound of it too much because I'm not into metal, more on the side of blues and jazz.

Should I pick a guitar by looks or by sound >< should I pick the expensive or the cheaper one !!

So many choices !!!

Thanks !!
KT.
