Fender Tex-Mex Stratocaster Review

This is my main axe. When I decided to buy an electric guitar in 1996, I knew I wanted a Fender Stratocaster. My favorite guitarists all play Strats, so getting a Strat was a natural choice. I took a friend with me to look for a guitar. On the first day out we found a Japanese Strat (a sweet guitar) and a Tex-Mex Strat which both my friend and I liked.

I didn't buy that Tex-Mex that day because I promised my wife that I wouldn't buy a guitar the first day I went shopping. A week later I went by myself to a nearby guitar shop and found my Tex-Mex Strat.

The Tex-Mex Strat is a really wonderful instrument. These instruments all have a high quality and consistency. The Tex-Mex pickups are 'hot'. This guitar has a wonderfully 'growling tone'.
