apart from the ol' mia vs mim discussion, i was just wondering if anyone has compared the two and if there are any notable differences in the models (i havent had a chance to locate both to try out yet).
Im especially interested in the necks.
Any info would be great! thanks

those 3 bolts necks will shift to one side if it gets bumped. i don't think it's a real major problem though

i had a real 70ies strat a while ago for a long time. always did not love it and finally sold it. i dont really understand how anyone wants a 70ies strat new. specially the 3-bolt neck was always something i really disliked.
