That's still not that cheap for a Mexican made Strat.

Oh how the times have changed. These were regularly on sale for 549 before fender jacked up their MSRP.

Agreed, MSRP over $800 for a Mexican Strat is crazy. Considering that when Player Series came out couple years ago these were $600-650 MSRP.

For $800 I'd rather find a pre-owned American Strat.

I don't think we will see those low price in the past. Everything is costly now. Fender raised $50 on their Player series guitar. I was able to grab the Fender Player Stratocaster HSS Pau Ferro Fingerboard Limited Edition Candy Red at $600 after $180 discount a couple of months ago.

MSRP went up big time, hence the deal prices. The deals you used to see in $500 range are not coming back.

I can't believe Mex Fenders are selling for this much today... I recall, not long ago, I was buying USA-made ones for $650....

USA-made Strats are now over $1000 MSRP. You can still find used ones for $700-800 in good condition, that's the way to go.

Simple supply and demand: Lots of people with time in their hands thanks to the pandemic wanting to learn to play musical instruments, supplies of which have been impacted by factory shutdowns and other supply chain interruptions also due to the pandemic. These things are also largely made of wood, right? Lumber prices are up something like 193% over a year ago. Oh and let's not forget the trade wars before all this began...

Get yourself a Schecter Strat for the same price. Plays and feels like a higher end strat.
