Advantages: Classic sounds and styling Disadvantages: colours not to everyones tastes
of guitar history there was less demand for fretapping, legato etc which incidetally are quite possible on this guitar but are easier to perform on a modern Ibanez or Jackson with a lower action.
One thing worth noting is the neck is a 'v' profile which basically means the neck has a very slight v shape tapering particularly near the headstock other profiles are c and d. V profiles tend to have smaller necks making this an ideal instrument to learn on albeit in the more expensive price bracket.
Mexican versus US.
Originally all fenders were made in the US. During the late 70's however owing to an influx of extremely high quality guitars coming from Japan mainly Tokai Fender was forced to ship some of its manufacturing to Japan to compete on costs. These were known as Squires. Production later shifted to Korea.
The Mexican side ...
VERY neat, most impressive little DVD player I've ever used... (read on in review, theres too much to say.)
not brilliant base, especially at full volume(but normally I use headphones or if plugged into TV then its tv speakers that r used anyway), Battery hasn't got the longest life but it just clips on so its easy to have more than 1(easy to find on e-bay) (*)
