Not that I play rock anymore but i believe some of these guys may disagree with your statement:
Yngwie Malmsteen
Ritchie Blackmore
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
David Gilmour
Jimi Hendrix
I'm sure...

i have owned numerous fender strats over the years and many other usa made guitars and just purchased a PRS SE Custom 24 and love it.
The only guitars i've owned that i can honestly say surpass it...
