Defend your instruments life!
Lummer:
Buy an Ibanez. End of discussion.
But really, newer fenders suck enormous ass. Their quality control is really lacking, just like Gibson.
At least Gibson guitars are built in a way where it's virtually impossible to make it suck, in my opinion. Even a poorly built Les Paul or SG is still gonna sound badass, whereas a poorly built strat is gonna sound even more boring and soulless than they already do.
I would really dig a older-than-Andy-Rooney Strat though, but anything fender post-1990 is utter bull to me.
I must say I'm an Ibanez whore for life though.

then why did people like buddy holly and jimi hendrix have fenders? because they in fact do not suck.

hendrix also played a gibson flying v.

He also played a Les Paul on occasion. Which means he was not a little nancy-boy who complained about things that were heavy. Another thing going for him.

I'll say you're a whore alright...
Admittedly Ibanez makes some solid axes... but you still can't even compare most of them to even a Mexistandard 'caster. Part of that is because they really are different instruments for different styles of music, but overall Fender still really is the better company...
I think if any other company is going to knock them out, it could be Godin in a couple years. They've really been stepping up to the plate lately.
Zaarin:
I've got a Squier Precision Bass (assembled in China), and it's been pretty good to me.
Mind you, I've only had it for a month, but still, no signs of any sort of decay or crappiness.
Kai:
I have a confession to make.
I don't like Ibanez guitars at all. I can't really put why I don't like them into words, I just... don't.
