I like mine with Jalapenos.

I bought a used MIM standard back in the winter with the idea I would turn it into an Esquire or add a 'Bucker to the neck position. After a thorough cleaning and a new set of strings I am in love with it just as our friends south of the border turned her out. I am just recently simplifying my rig and have dialed in a perfect Fender sound , clean when I want it and warmed up just right with a stronger attack.
Pairing the MIM with a good amp and minimal effects has yeilded a surprisingly good tone and should work for most (YMMV) . The real difference in the various non-American made Standards and RI models is largely a matter of taste and not quality.
