I have saved up my money and finally got a gun metal blue fenny with a black pic guard and rose wood neck. It is awesome and sounds great!

Unfortuantely? Man the MIM Fenders are great instruments!

[fender_7]

Thanks. Yes, i have like a dozen pics. I keep them in a small wood box that i painted. It has a lid, so my kids brothers cant lose them. You can get boxes like it at ACMOORE, or Michaels, or a craft store like that.

MIM means made in Mexico right? :confused:

Yes as in Made In Mexico. They offer them in Standard, Deluxe, and Classic (ie. vintage reissues) trims. They are all good and the MIM Standard Strat has served many guitarists well either as is or as a platform for upgrades. I have a MIM Deluxe Active Jazz Bass 5 and it's a fantastic bass for the money. The quality of MIM Fenders is pretty good overall too. Is this (http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0134402568) the one you got?
