Article says Fender is in Cordova, CA....thought they are in Corona?

Does Fender have multiple California manufacturing locations?

Yeah, a nice unsolicited mention and much appreciated. And yes, Corona is correct.

I thought that was a great article when I read it. As I said on the other post its says alot of a Company in this day and age to be mentioned in such a context. Well Done Fender!!!!

My apologies... I didn't realize cvilleira had already made a thread about this topic. I did a quick search but must have missed it.

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
