Clearly not all of them are but yes, there are some great examples of recent offerings with excellent build quality.
I couldn't be happier with my American Deluxe Stratocaster HSS QMT. I've said from day one that the build quality was as good as any boutique Strat, let alone any vintage Strat.
In fact, I'd rather play this than any '50s Strat out there. It has all of the traditional Strat tones plus more bottom end and the best Jazz tone of any Strat I've ever played.
Joe’s guitars for the Best of All Worlds Tour:
I mean he just came off his own solo tour followed directly by the Satch/Vai tour and right into this, so I'm sure he is firing on all cylindersI've been watching a lot of the recent live shows posted on Youtube and I'll say this -- Satch is putting on a friggin' clinic, he's in top form. Maybe playing EVH riffs put some extra fire in his approach but he's going after it big time and nailing it, yet still staying uniquely himself. It makes me happy. He's playing better than ever and he just turned 68! Inspiring.
