Hi , thanks for the reply...

That day before I buy I tested out some fender jap strats..and i fell in love with the tone and feel of the neck + the grip of the body..and its so much lighter..its like its made so perfect..the string and fretboard are smooth to play with!!

so at last i didnt buy the epiphone black beauty...my friend adviced me not to cause better get a Gibson when im really good next time... as an epiphone is still an epiphone..

I have not bought any guitar yet..now am testing all the fenders like crazy!! i like the jap reissue model especially the one with alder body and maple neck and maple fretboard..the sound is very one biji biji..nice!!

Hi gapnap,
can you share why you said only pick a few MIJ fender like the ST54,ST57 and ST62? what about the ST68?
