good models? do they sound good? ive got someone willing to sell one to me for 280$.. and since i am looking for a cheap stratocaster due to a tight budget.. im wondering if i should buy it. its in perfect condition.. if you need more details ask me

thanks!

I didn't know they made Korean Strats...I wouldn't trust that. I'd say if you can't get USA Fender, get MIJ Fender and nothing else.

Yes fender produced quite a few models out of Korea. Basically if you see a set-neck fender it was produced out of Korea. Now to be sure the one he is offering
is a good deal or not post some pics or atleast give me the exact
model guitar, some of them are amazing guitars, others are just mediocre. Actually the Paul reed smith se guitar line is produced out of Korea ad well and they are amazing
guitars for the price

MIJ and MIM strats are fine and often a bargain...don't see why the Korean ones would be very different. It should be pretty obviously when you play it if it's shit.

Hrmm... don't' remember that particular Strat. Too bad the decal is so blurry. But the single ply PG, dodgy saddles and ceramic p/u's with the vintage style button tunners is real fishy. Don't ever remember those specs on any Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Amearican or even Indian made Fender/Squire product line. It looks like a body from a Squire with a Fender headstock Pic. Could just be a bogus decal? Wouldn't pay no $280 for it though.
