But even aspiring musicians who don't earn rock-star pay opt for Fenders from the company's U.S. plant in Cordova, Calif., whenever they can afford them.

They prize the craftsmanship at Fender's U.S. plant, which all but guarantees an instrument that will play better and hold up longer. U.S.-made guitars also do a superior job of bringing out the signature Fender sparkle and growl, which define the spirit of rock 'n' roll for so many musicians and fans alike.


I wonder if they read the MIA vs MIM threads before writing this.
Hmmmmmmmmm
