    Customer Reviews:

    This guitar is by far the best ELECTRIC guitar I own. It sounds great and is great quality. It's very realistic, which is great, except for the fact that it uses the classic tuners, which makes putting new strings on a bit of a challenge, but you get the hang of it. Overall, this is one fine ...

    For more details please copy the Amazon link above in your browser

  • I have a mz6210691 thats seven numbers maybe because the bottom pickup looks like a humbucker (stock) I have only seen one other like it that was a live show with a guitar player with willie nelson.this guitar seems to have a uniqe sound compared to a stratocaster that has that slanted PU I bought it because I had never seen a strat with a humbucker on it has anybody else seen one or have one ? love the stratocaster never the less

  • @rockongoodpeople mine says crafted in Indonesia and their website doesn't support Indonesia. Is it a fake?

  • i have a 2002-2003 artic white MIM and its a great guitar. i'll never get rid of it

  • My says MX wtf!

  • Holy shit hes using the exact strat i bought today for £410!

  • this helped alot. thanks man. i got a 1996 mexican stratocaster. it sounds great

  • I have a 2003 Mexican Strat with original pick ups and it sounds just as nice as my 2011 USA Strat Deluxe and definately louder.

  • Does anyone know if there is any difference in quality between the MN-90's versions and the MZ-00's, or MX-2010? I heard that post 2006 they were given modifications. Does that mean to suggest that pre-2006 models are inferior? I'm planning on buying a MIM within the next two weeks and I am unsure as to whether I should go for a newer model? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • just ask if she want to go to a restaurant or something

  • holy shit its house

  • 2010's are MX

  • this is i notice in american made fenders strat american made they make 22 frets mexican only 21 watsupp with that? i just notice it....

  • Nvm 95 lol

  • I got a 94 mex strat! Yeahuh I'm putting blue silver and red lace sensors in it this bitch too!

  • I have a 1992 Mex Strat! I have also had it from around late 92/93!! Still looks like i bought it yesterday and it has been on stage a LOT. I am now thinking of Lindy Fralin Blues PUPs for it!!

  • my serial no on my mex is mx .any help dating this

  • David, I have a line on a sweet '98 MexiStrat that I am going to check out in person soon. Wanted to say this vid was a huge help (serial number dating format) in helping me decide to pursue it. The info about the late 90's Mexi Strats was very helpful. It's a '98 bust w/ maple neck. Has that 'Derek and the Dominoes' vibe, youbetcha. Should compliment my SG nicely.

    Peace.

  • Okay just bought a Mexican strat. And the pickups are good but the silver dots inside the pickups are uneven, like some will be high and some are low. Does that mean anything?

  • actually,to me 21 fret is not enough.BUT something on my guitar (which is mexican strat) that make me fallin love with fender is it sound,specialy on the neck pickup...so i spend my time around 2 hours everyday to "date" with my guitar..:D

  • Oh yeah I got a Mexican strat baby. 94-95. Awesome thanks for the info. Now I need to learn how to make her wail!!

  • @rockongoodpeople yeh and looks like the pickup issue rolls on for another decade, already swapped my bridge pickup for a Seymour Duncan JB Jr Humbucker. Also i would add that the Mexican bridge is very uncomfortable and the screws eat in to my hand with palm muting, will need replaced for my playing style. Had a bone nut fitted and fret ends filed and polished, minor details tho concidering a USA strat in the UK is mega bucks!

  • @rockongoodpeople my strat is not on the Fender product dating list. Its a new enough mexican strat. Im lucky and got it free from a friend that recived it direct from Fender as a promo guitar and thats all I know about it. Serial number is on back of headstock and is MX10060801 would it be as simple as MX = 2010 and the Fender site not updated yet?

  • My dad got a 95-6 one with an amp and lead for $300, so they are cheap.

  • i was wondering when did fender open their mexico factory and start to make the MIM guitars.

  • i dont date mexicans.

    sorry lol. bad taste but i just had to lol

  • @Abs9106 hahaha no no that wasn't bad at all, made me giggle :)

  • once i read the title where it says " how to date your Mexican..." i almost felt like leaving! jk

  • cool never knew this, got my mexican deluxe player's strat from a pawn shop when i was a teenager and never knew how old it was...MN7, 1997-1998, neat.

  • My Mexican made strat came today, the serial number is MX10194959, how do i date this if it doesn't have MN or MZ?

    It is a HSS model though, is this why?

  • i have a 1998 mexico but id like to now the price... cant find it on the net

  • When my girlfriend found out that I was dating my Fender Stratocaster, she slapped the hell out of me!

  • hi am new to guitar and I have a broken string lol, but the thing is that now I want to change all the strings and I've browse the web and I've found some various kind of strings and the problem is that what kind of string should I consider when I play rock, metal and blues stuffs thanx. NOTE: I have a fender stratocaster mexican made 2004-2005 and am limiting me to fender strings is it ok or is there some better brand out there to put on my fender guitar??

  • @metaliguy Ernie ball makes top quality strings for average prices. Rock, metal and blues usually require thicker than average strings, so I would recommend using Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings.

  • mn5... 1995. mz5...2005. etc

  • Mine showmaster strat starts with IC0 can you help me?

  • When i read the title.. I thought the guy was gonna teach us how to have sex with our stratocaster before clicking the vid.

  • Thank you for your nice lesson. You are great person.

  • @pistolpete111 you kinda dum, really. Yeah, chicks dig this kinda shit, i know it, personally :D

    but duuuuuude, play because you like it, or else, you are a mere sex addict, i guess :|

  • Cuando veo un video de estos lo que yo espero es ver luego luego el sonido de la guitarra y no tanta palabreria . When I watch a video of guitars, I hope to listen the sound of guitar and not talk talk talk talk talk talk talk,

  • I tried to get to second base with my strat and she gave me horrible feedback. But I love her none the less. She has a good rack though.

  • cool twila

  • Mine is a MX10206535?

  • I have a 2006 Mexican Deluxe Players Strat. The Noiseless pickups are actually "stacked" so I guarentee this model has hotter pickups than the 90's models. The DPS is probably as good as an American strat as well.

  • mine wasnt on the site :/

  • is $530 for mim strat a good deal ??

  • @p0rsch997 No. They are $499 brand new.

  • idk i meen my guitar is waaayyy outta my league you think she likes me? man i dont think i can date her

  • Hi,

    What is the name of the song at the begining

    Thanks

  • How to date a Strat? Well, first you ask her out. Then it's pretty much up to you.

  • does a 1995 fender strat MIM has those "hot" pick-ups?

  • cool, i got a black and white from latre nineties. paid 350 for it about 6 yrs ago. im selling it. still has plastic on the back.

  • exactly the same as mine, Great playin Bud!

  • couldn't agree more. I have a 98 MIM strat. Can be played for months without going out of tune. It's pickups are really nice. Great guitar for the money.

  • hi im having a real hard time trying to date my fender mim strat. the serial number is MZ9407573 can anybody help me?

  • @metalhead02904 2009 model

  • for some reason mine says MX10054765?

  • @trebman91 im pretty sure that mx is for 2010+

  • My Fender Stratocaster has the following serial number: US 10124307

    I know that it's made in USA but what do the numbers mean???

  • MX, my mexican strat

  • you want to date your guitar!?say whaaaat! i love guitars... but not that way. haha

  • @zombieX111222333 True! However if it's a lovely glossy sunburst...I wouldn't mind dating it! Happiness is a stiff truss-rod ;)

  • @Fenner1976 maybe if it had a good G string and good output and some nice hard wood, i'd go for it. im a gutarosexual.

  • @zombieX111222333 Nice! Sounds interesting! lol. There's quite a handy database which lists a lot of Strat serial numbers by search. Whether or not it's a complete list as possible, I'm not sure but it has listings for USA, Mexican and Japanese made guitars. Quite a handy reference. Google "Fender Serial Numbers" or something similar and it should come up?

  • @zombieX111222333 If youre not into dating your own guitar then dont even think about putting your hand on its G-string! hahaha, I kill me~!

  • @ellonysman ha ha ha! i just want a plain and simple relationship with no strings attached! ha!

  • So my advice for people who want to buy a good Strat but don't really have the money, or for those who don't want to spent that much money on a USA made Strat: ''Look for a 90's Strat. They are great guitars for the money!'' But remember always TRY before you BUY!

  • This guy is right, i've had a USA Strat made in 2006 and it didn't sound and played that well compared to my Mexican Strat that is made in 1992. I brought my Mexican from some guy who had it upstairs at his attic, just sitting there and collecting dust. I've installed a DiMarzio XN2 humbucker in the bridge and it's a great guitar. I use it mainly for Punk/Metal/Grunge etc. But thanks to the stock single coils it still sounds great for clean things aswell.

  • I want dearly the black beauty to be my next guitar. look it up its awsome with the gold set up

  • @Guitarstring187 have you heard its rage (sound) OH MY GOD DUDE, just omg....i've got a epiphone les paul myself, it sounds awesome, humbucks and shit

  • Hey I'm looking at a used 1996 tex mex strat and I've tried looking stuff up about it and apparently it came in a rosewood fretboard before they changed it to maple but the one I'm looking at has a maple board. Is there anyway to tell if something was changed without the seller saying?

  • whasup o.o

  • First you would buy it a drink.......

  • i just got my mexican sunburst with a maple neck today !! im loving it!! :D

  • Hey can anyone tell me how the pickups are in a Mid nineties American made strat .....a 97-98 i see one on CL that i might buy

  • MEXICAN FENDER NOT FOR BEGINNERS MAN THE ROAD WORN MADE IN MEXICO AND THEY SOUND LIKE THEY MADE IN USA

  • hi i have a 2004 Mexican made strat and i wanna what would be some good pickups to replace the stock ones?

  • Quit calling the mexican-made a beginner instrument!

  • Ive had both and I prefer Mexican...Jimmy Vaughan (Stevie Rays Brother) said he prefers the Mexican.

  • è del 60' this stratocaster??

  • nice video.! very useful..! well i am planning to buy this, always wanted a strat badly. So i just wanted to know weather the mexican strats are very good? are they 75% atleast like a american strat?

    well i am buying an HSS strat :)

  • I still can't find that G spot on my mexican date. I still have lots to learn

  • ever play a fender mustang? strat or mustang? i know it depends on the type of music the band plays but as for true satisfaction im leaning toward white mexican strat over a 69 mustang cuz of the price 

  • hey I need some help with dating my guitar. It`s a mexico made strat with serial no mz9375549. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

  • who prefers maple over rosewood neck?

  • @DGA0602

    Clapton, Hendrix, Townshend, and Gilmour among others.

  • @DGA0602 ive got a mahogany neck :D, and a mahogany body :D, and a explorer shape :D

  • I've got a mahogany neck :D, a mahogany body :D, a explorer shape :D

    Get it ? 3D hahaha, naw, its true though

  • I have a 3 mexicans and 2 american strats. on the mexi i changed the pickups to duncan hotrails and didn't need to change the tunners it stays in tune as well as the usa model. I gotta say to me the mexicans play better then the usa.. how sad is that? the mexican weighs more and the whole feel of the guitar is just better in my opinion . i use the mexicans it more then the USA and there half the price.

  • Hey, did u have distorion onn

  • Is it bad to have a mexican made strat?

  • @xEasySnipesx NOT AT ALL

  • @xEasySnipesx

    No some of them next to a good amp can sound AMAZING.

  • what if it starts with mx101

  • i want to make a corny joke

  • Mine says MZ81 etc...Weird

  • ive got a 2012 one WTF

  • @backinblack751 its mayan made lol

  • @backinblack751 you must be the chosen one.

  • @backinblack751 could be 2001 as in MZ1

  • @backinblack751 killer

  • Mine is a Mex with # MZ1XXXX that I bought in 2000. It must have the Hot pick-ups you talked about, 'cause it sounds really good. Stuck it under a U.V. light for a week to give it an "aged look" , even the dots on the fret board are tanned, gives it an "vintage look". Replaced the tuners with "locking" type.

  • This xmas Im gonna get a standard mexican strat white with a maple neck ohhh god 6 more months please go by fast!!!!!

  • what about a mexican strat made in 2010?

  • i have mz51803... i cant found it!!!can u help me?

  • @ismagrunge 2005-2006 mate

    

  • What's the amp mate?

  • i have a mz 7. so is that 2007?

  • yer its 2007.

  • MIM Strat a good beginner guitar? I don't think so, it plays just as well as an American, mine is modded and it's the bee's knees! A beginner guitar would be a Les Paul, because they're so easy to play, a beginner would have an easier time with the action on a les paul.

  • Its not as if he was insulting it dood. He said he liked it.. and it was easy to play so he suggested it for begginging. Dosnt make it a "begginer guitar"

  • Thanks for the information.

    very interesting and escellently presented.

    Well done.

    Excellent!!!!!

  • im going to buy a mexican fender strat and the serial number is MZ21512082

    is this a good one or fake? I can't find anything on websites about it.

  • the strat you have asked about is not a fake it a 2002 mexican strat. with a strat you cant really tell if its good or bad they are hit or miss. if the strat you end up with is not has good has you would have hopped you can all ways do things to improve it.

  • i want a strat but cant afford one lol :(

  • I love the sunburst with black pick guard ... it just looks so awesome .....

  • I'm going to get me one of these MIM strats.

  • dont buy it on line, there really hit of miss.

    go and play it first . you can have the same modle guitar, the same colour but one could be good and one could be rubish.

  • So where are these guitars for 10-15 years before you buy them?

  • ebay is beast they go for about $380.

  • my mexican strat sounds so thin compared to my american, even with seymour duncan pickups

  • i got a 1996 fender mexican strat for 200$ on ebay omg great tone best pickups ever it sounds amazing!!

  • lucky bastard

  • hahah and i just got my 1991 strat today from ebay again that one was 280$ thou but worth every penny lol

  • how do you tell if a strat is american or mexican cause i wanna american one

  • it says so on the head stock if its made in mexico...

    american made are more expensive..

  • @LesPaulRockerProduct it will have mim (made in mexico) on the head stock

  • so if i have a strat from 1992 is sounds better than a 2009 model?

  • well yeah i have a 1991 and a 1996 strat and they sound wayy batter than my 2007 model...

  • Duh, I got all excited. I thought the title said 'How to date your Mexican maid'.

  • no the MIM strat became fantastic all the way around in 2006. 3 piece alder body instead of 6 to 7piece befor 2006. 2006 to present the necks and bodys are simply fantastic A+ and match to most MIA strats.

    if you have a 2006 to present MIM strat you have a very well crafted guitar!

  • and lets not forget that the fender mexican factory is also state of the art just like the corona factory.

  • whats so important bout where the guita is made?

  • for me,, nothing... just choose what feels good with your hands and what sounds good with your ears,,

  • @TannerCBrooks what the hell?

  • truth hurts bro.

  • Are you a racist? You sure look like one.

  • @EspadaStyle HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE ?

  • Dude, what the fuck???

  • Responder a este vídeo...

  • i want one :)

    lol all white, maple fingerboard...but blue pickguard :)

    yeahhh

  • i have that same exact guitar :D

  • what he says about the pickups has a simple soulotion get a roadhouse strat they are basicly the same acept with texas special pickups

  • i have fender, made in quiapo!!!

  • ahaha raon dude!

  • i have a 1992 mexican fender stat, it has a sticker on the inside and it has very, very hot pups in it, and its not a bad playing guitar either

  • I have the same thing, except mine has a humbucker pickup at the bridge. The only other time ive seen a mex. strat. like mine is when they have a whammy bar, and mine doesnt. But there is a whole on the bridge (his has it to, its near the high e string). Id that where whammy bars go?

  • Yep!

  • mmmh i'm sure about the mexican origin of this strat...because all the parts are in the right place...but there is this strange serial that appears to be original...you can find it under the clear coat under the neck and inside the body in the control cavity!!..

  • Hi!

    i couldn't be able to date my mexican strat...

    the serial is : MO1207910...could anyone help me?

  • Hi - have not seen an MO prefix on a mexican made strat - may not have been made in mexico - check the fender website for more info and leads on that one - best of luck

    rock on!
