Well, it’s been a fun ride. From now on out,
it’s nothing but “Made in Taiwan”.
“Made in Taiwan”! Those would be the higher quality lines. They’re already producing guitars on the mainland. We’ll be longing for the “Made in Mexico” days soon.
I remember snooty types would put down any Fender that came from the c-BS era… Personally I put down all Fenders since I was a Gibson man. Its a very different world today now that you can build a kit Fender-blender StratoteleMustangPercisionmasterJag in your basement that is better than the original… Bob.
