What I meant is that strat pickups are shaped like strat pickups be they high end or stock...so buying a mexican strat, you won't have issues putting a higher end strat pickup by say, Lollar, later.

Just as an aside, don't skimp on the amp.

The best thing about the Mexican Strat is that it has the same pickgaurd as the American Strat. What I did was buy a new Fender pick gaurd and added new pot and pick ups etc.... I have three pick gaurds for my Strat. One pick-gaurded is loaded with EMG SA 20's and the other pick-gaurd has the OEM Fender Strat pick ups. The EMG kit I installed had all the Pots switches, and hardware. I just cut the ground wire from the OEM pick-gaurd and installed my new pick-gaurd. I also have Kinman Pick ups loaded in a diff pick-gaurd.
