Player Series Strat MN BCR : Is this really a mexico fender?

I was looking for a more versatile guitar rather (I own a Jackson and an ESP) to play something less aggressive than metal and hard rock. I was thinking about a Fender strato with single coil pickups but frankly speaking I could not afford an original american one. So I decided to go for this Player series strato. As far as I can see, so far the choice has been definitely successful. The finish is really good (i.e. no paint defect). As far as the tone is concerned I'm not able to compare to an America ST but it is great and it is exactly what I was looking for.

As far as customer service is concerned, I think it could not be better. I have been constantly informed on order and delivery status, shipment has been really fast (the item has been delivered two days in advance rather than estimated). Moreover, the order has been split in 2 different deliveries without extra costs since one item was not immediately available. Packaging is well done so that you can be sure that there are no issues during shipment.
