I bought my made in Mexico Stratocaster in 1993. I installed Van Zandt Vintage pickups (back when the Old Man was still making them) and a Hipshot Trem-setter and I've never looked back. Of course, I've not touched a "real" US built Strat since the mid-'70's, so perhaps I just don't know what I'm missing.
edit to add: Oops, I installed a set of Sperzel locking tuners as well.
