I agree with mix....save till you can get an american. Its 100xs better! even a used american is only a couple hundred more then a new mexi. I live in MA where it goes from humid to dry in the winter...(like most states in the country!) and my mexi I bought in october the neck twisted like a pretzel! They are replacing the neck now. my MIA deluxe 2011 model is straight as can be! and feels 100xs better. I wouldnt buy a mexi again...It even feels cheap compared to the MIA....its worth the couple hundred more to find a good used one. I am pissed I wasted 600 on it!
Fair comment but I would add the MIJ's from 80's are killer and they are mostly still selling cheap. Same quality as modern MIAs.
