Do these "Factory Special Run" versions sport any mechanical differences when compared to their standard counterparts? For example, an FSR '72 Telecaster Deluxe. Does it have anything other than a non-standard colour (Arctic White in this case) that a regular '72 RI wouldn't have?

- I mean, is it possible that the FSR versions have different pickups, pots, tuners, or perhaps even nicer woods?

- Could the FSR versions be made in the USA as oppose to Mexico (Such as the Classic Series '72 Deluxe Reissues in this case)?

- If not, why am I finding photos of these "FSR Tele Deluxes" online with USA Flag stickers on the pickguards and "Made In USA" stampled on the headstock as if they are "Made In USA"? (A quick Google image search with "FSR 72 Tele Deluxe" brings up a few examples .. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/ishibashi/311654500/ and http://1484.bz/rockside/select.cgi?id=16796 )

- Are the FSR '72 Deluxe Reissues physically made any differently than the regular Mexican versions? (Better craftsmanship, tighter joints, etc...)

Basically:

Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe RI = Three-Tone, Black, Walnut.
Fender FSR '72 Telecaster Deluxe RI = Three-Tone, Black, Walnut, AND Olympic White.

Is that the only difference? The FSR's "Olympic White" colour choice?

This has left me puzzled for quite the time. I've finally decided to post my question on this Fender forum. Hopefully someone can clear this up for me.

Thanks for anyones help! Have an awesome day!
