Curios if the Fender Squier MIM up until 1999 would be a good choice. At the time they retailed for around $399. I have a chance to purchase one in Artic White. Any idea what one should pay for one today in excellent condition with a hard case?

$399 seems high for a Squier?  For not much more than that you can get a Fender Strat Made in Mexico.  I’d probably spring for the extra hundred and go with a Strat.

Hey Brian~ thanks for the reply. The $399 was supposedly the msrp back in 1999. The guy is asking $180 for it and the hard shell case. I’m kind of wondering if the new China made Squeirs are just as good if not better than the MIM versions. Guitar center has the Squeir Affinity strat (China made) for $179 new. I have been listening to some demo playing of the ones from China on YouTube and they sound really great. Once again thank you! You have a great site here and your video lessons in YouTube are excellent!
