1. It's that damn price mark-up!
Hey, if Wal-Mart got into this market, we'd see more reasonable prices.

12. And here's a Strat that will blow your mind


"The HSS model has two Fender American Series single-coils in the neck and middle positions, and one Fender DH-1TM Humbucker in the bridge. The DH-1's magnetic pole pieces are Fender-spaced for proper string balance. The HH model beefs it up with a double dose of Fender DH-1 Humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions, combined with special five-way switching that offers a wide array of fat humbucker and cutting single-coil tones. "
