I have an ivory Squire Strat, serial # E 906209. Squires were made outside the US in several countries but mine says made in USA. I e-mailed a guy at Fender and he said it was an '89 model and yes it was built in the US. Seems there was a fire at the Mexico plant that prohibited manufacturing there, so for a period of time the "Squire" series was built in California. I've been told it is a semi-rare instrument and not to modify anything on it. If someone else has a similar situation or more info regarding this, please reply. Thanks, Ryxxter

Yes for a short time Squiers were built in the US and Mexico. Although somewhat rare, the guitar aren't much to right home about as far as specs go. The pretty much use subpar electronics and hardware, but were just put together in the US. The tend to be worth more than most squiers in the used market but there are definitely better spec'd squiers out there, like the CVs, Sqs, JVs, E series, pro tones etc..
