Ok guys.. I just want to ask if its worth taking these or not..

I asked around for prices and this is what i got..

Fender Standard Strat
From china: RM595
From Mexico: RM2000++

Ibanez GRG150
RM690

Ibanez JS series
from japan: RM6000++
from korea: RM2000++

My question is.. what's the diff between the place of manufacture? Between china and mex, i know mexico is the original ones.. bt whats the diff? Is the china one a good buy???

And whats the diff between the japan and korea version of the JS series??

I play lots of songs like songs from Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson and modern rock songs.. Which of the 3 you would recommend??

I'm also thinking of the Ibanez RG2570EX

HELP!!

Hi guys. Thanks for all the feedback. Haha.. Sorry for the really slow and late reply though.. Been really busy there few days.

for now, i'm using kustom's practise amp, forgot which model but i'll post it up later...

oh, i'm also thinking of the rg series also. And my budget is stated as above 1k to 1.5k. I have to change the pickups also? Wish to achieve the satch's sound haha.

so now the difference in china and mexico is the sound and build quality right?
What shop you guys recommend? Heard some bad things about bentley lol.

help from you guys are really appreciated. Thanks

so you mean a china one qould be fine? =P

ok... so should i get the Fender Strat from china or mexico? I will go around and try first...

Now the Ibanez JS Series and the GRG will be out of question..
For the RG series, which one will suit my budget and will be suitable for the type i songs i play? =P

Right now im using some ciplak Pyramid STC-34 guitar. Started from this lol. =\
