Re: American Fenders
I don't know why exactly, but I kept my Japanese Fenders and got rid of my US ones (I only kept an Aluminium Standard). I never bothered upgrading anything HW related.. the pups sounded always ok to me. I think their build quality is equal (if not higher) then the US ones. But again, that's my personal opinion. Prices of MIJ have gone up in recent years BTW.

Re: American Fenders
I have two '57 American reissure strats and I love them both. I'll never get rid of them. They have Texas specials and one has a Fast Track 1 in the bridge (great pickup) The older Japan ones are pretty good and the newer ones don't feel as good to me. But, that's just my opinion. Believe it or not, some of the Mexi's are okay too. It's always tough to say because every guitar is different. And as for Fender, they are a bit inconsistant. I've played 3 or 4 of the same exact thing and they all feel different (and no, I don't mean string height or neck adjustment)
