no Jap Strats @ swee lee... i'd rather you trust your preference 'made in _____' isn't a fool-proof assurance.
I was quite surprised Bras Basah had one Japanese Fender. Maybe that was an outlier.

I find it ironic that "Petrucci" is asking about single coil guitars. Hehe. Back on topic, good quality MIJ Strats and Teles can be had 2nd hand for well under $1000. Alternatively you can get them new at TYMC, Davis and Sound Alchemy (I think).
I'm guessing you're a DT fan because of your username, so this is what an MIJ Strat is capable of.
