Get that no trem is a deal-breaker for lots of people, but there's not a regular-production US Strat I'd rather have than the Mexi Cray. Lovely thing.

Weirdly these are the only two MIM Fenders I've ever owned!  A white Jimmie Vaughan and a sunburst Robert Cray.  Both excellent guitars.

Good luck with the sales!

Thanks @Philly_Q.  I’ve got a Brad Paisley MIM, too.  Really impressed with it.  I’m just clearing things out at the moment.  Really not sure why.  I think I’m looking forward to a shopping spree when I’m in funds.

@Treewig1 The Brad Paisley was another one I considered buying.  There's just something about those MIM signature models!  Nothing to do with the actual artists, I think it's the particular features of those guitars, at the right price.

Nothing wrong with having a clear out, I've been meaning to for years but I never seem to have the time.

Never had the Vaughan, but the Cray model is really really good. Superb neck shape, which I understand was copied from his original. One of the most vintage feeling Strats I've owned and a lot of guitar for the cash. Pickups are excellent too

Just out of interest, did you sell the Robert Cray to the bloke who runs Vibrocaster in Malton?

@rlw, I did not!

Just being nosey - he had one up for sale for another 50%.  I actually sold him one of my Strats and he put it up for another 50% although he did tell me he was a dealer.
