Is the American Special Stratocaster the best Strat Fender makes right now?
If I were in the market for an American Stratocaster right now, my choice would be the Fender American Special Stratocaster in Surf Green, for the following reasons:
At the time I write this in March 2014, there are a ton of guitars that are priced exactly at $399.99, which basically means $400. When you add in tax and shipping, that usually means you end up spending anywhere from $424 to $475. Being that Amazon has free shipping on an item this price, US buyers can grab a $399.99 for as little as $424. For dudes outside the US, cost goes up because of shipping but usually stays under the equivalent of $500 USD.
Metal players typically get suckered in to buying a lot of worthless crap, and it takes them a good long while before they stop doing that and buy stuff they can actually use.
