I know this doesn't specifically pretain to U2, but about 2 years ago my brother picked up a Mexican Strat for around $350. Now, I can't find anything made by fender for under $499. WTF?
Well, if they think its worth $499 for a Mexican Strat, they obviously got s**t for brains.......now i gotta find out where i'm gonna spend my $350.
I was told by a wise friend that that only difference between an American Strat and a Mexican Strat was that the Mexican Strat is made in Mexico by Mexicans whereas the American Strat is made in America... by Mexicans.
Typical Squiers are Agathis with ceramic pickups. The Classic Vibe is Alder with Alnico IIIs, the same as American Strats. I've been thinking that just because a company makes a low-end guitar doesn't nessessarally mean that they are'nt capable of also making a good guitar. So saying no to Squier isn't really fair.Just say NO to Squier.
(HECK NO!!!!)

The most obvious example of this would probably be Mexican and American strats. The pickups are just about the only difference and the $1000 price gap hardly worh the cost of pickups.Bingo. Given the manufacturing quality around the world these days, you have to look much harder to find a bad guitar than you do to find a good one.
It's been said that all electric guitars are $300, and the rest is marketing. That number may or may not be true, but I agree with the spirit of it.
