It looks like the OP has vanished, but I used to believe that an amp had to be made by Marshall, so when I was playing 1st time around, I went through 3 of them. 

On returning to guitar, over a decade late, I bought an 80s Laney Lineback 20w practice amp which I was amazed with.  These days, I use another old 80s amp: a Peavey Classic Chorus 212.  It's an SS amp so always sounds the same and any volume and is both quiet enough to use indoors and easily loud enough for gigs.

Does the Fender stuff rust the strings?

I thought this was normal.  Certainly my SSS Strat and HSS Aria suffer a volume drop in positions 2 & 4.

Yes, I see one of the items is boiled linseed.....which I've heard mixed tales of.

Lard, being a food product, at some point, will become rancid.   Although until it does, it'll make your fingers smell like fish and chips. 

All time?

Anything that: Tommy Bolin, Pat Travers, Glenn Hughes, Robin Trower, Sammy Hagar have been involved in.

Some other newer interests too, but that's another story. 

Hey there - Another fairly newbie here.  Not anywhere near your skill level though.

I like the Ibanez guitars to play, but I'm now a Strat convert.

Thanks

I didn't really see a huge difference between MIM & US Strats in terms of build quality.  Mine doesn't have original pickups in (Tone Rider Pure Vintage) and it sounds better than the MIM Standards IMO.  The only thing I will change at some point is the trem block as the threads wear quite quickly (2010 model).

If your trem is still solid then there's just one way which yours is better.
