yeah i agree with u sub, 700 can get u smth stylo besides fenders.
don't just go for brand, go for a sound u love.
if ur insist on fenders, i suggest you could head down to guitar77 at peninsula plaza and try out their fender japs. it goes for 850(before *special* discount) with a choice of vintage pups or dimarzios. i sure u can get it at 700 after talking to kerr or dennis =D
