I was going to say that's a bit cheap for a tele...

My strat is arctic white. I was recently informed that the lighter-coloured wood that they have to use on those types of guitars was the best and most expensive kind.

Might be bollocks though - the bloke that told me is a world renowned purveyor of shite that you hear in the pub preceeded by the word 'Apparently'...

I bought my Strat in white because I liked it. That is all. Oh and I thought it would be in a nice contrast to the Gibson Les Paul I have in black (Black Beauty not Tuxedo)

Edit: In my experience - the difference in pickup / build quality in USA and Mexis is negligable...but the difference between Fender and Squire is such a monumental cavernous gulf that it would even dwarf the snatch of Jodie Marsh...
