The CR-prefixed serial numbers seem to indicate that they're built in Corona, California.

@ stratele52 +1

I don't own a Supersonic but perhaps some are made in the USA and some are made somewhere else. I believe this is the case for the HRD. Some are made in the US and some, like mine for example, are made in Mexico.

Cheers!

Sorry but, it does mean they are made in the USA. The back of the amp says it all, if it were made some where else, such as Mexico, it would say (Made In Mexico) on the back. I too called Fender and spoke to a guy named Eric, and he told me that all of the Super Sonics, including the 22, are made in the USA, and always have been.

Not quite. My HRDlx has the same label, zip code instead of USA, but says "Made in USA" below. My BJr has the same label as your SS, with "Made in Mexico" below it. The C600 also says "Fender Musical Instruments Corp. Corona, California", but is made in China, and that part is inside on a separate label. But, if Fender says that the SS is made in USA, then they should know. Strange that it doesn't say so on the outside like every other modern Fender amp that is made in USA. :?

With some Fender amps, it does mean they are made in the USA. The Super Sonic 22 is not the only amp that's like this, the '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue reads the same as my Super Sonic.

I reckon I've got "a little time and experience" with amps and this is the only Fender "address" I ever gave a damn about......

Period.

End of story.

Nothing follows.

I think Fender keeps the freedom to make their amplifiers in any country and at any time without notice to the buyer. Like most of electronics , clothes etc company
Using a general description, there is no risk of the wrong country of manufacture.

We all prefer Fender product made ​​in USA, it is part of the legend.
But the reality of globalization ......
