I got a new Strat thirty years ago. It came with this:

I got a new Tele five years ago. It came with this:

In other words, no Fender guitar strap came with my new Telecaster.

Do certain new models still come with those Fender guitar straps? If no, when and why did Fender stop including guitar straps with their new guitars?

Was it a Mexican this time?
Americans tend to come with cases and straps, or at least gig bags and straps. Mexicans tend to come with just gig bags.

Can't say about the "when" but you already know the "why"......

Somebody has to pay for all of Bono's designer sunglasses.

Yes, as a matter of fact it was.

My Strat is a made in America Strat; my Tele, made in Mexico. That must be the explanation then for no strap?

Odd, though, for my made in Mexico Tele (a Joe Strummer model) Fender really threw in everything but the kitchen sink...and everything but a strap. Look at all the stuff that came with her:

I couldn't find a strap amongst this stuff:
