Oh Dennis in CR....I am soooooo glad you dont have any slanty grill cloths on any of your amps.I do wish I was in your shoes.Anybody can be taught how to put a grill cloth on straight even if they are 10 years old and live in Slobovia.......Inferior workmanship is not based on the country an item is built in but on poor supervision....send good experienced leadership to whatever country you want to build a quality product in and the result will be a quality product.
If you are trying to get a job selling tuxedos,do you go in with torn blue jeans and your belly hanging out of your tee shirt?....I certainly hope not.......If you want to sell your Mercedes do you leave the tires flat and don't wash that jewel before selling?......I certainly hope not......If you want to buy the amp you've heard so much about with its great reputation and expect that beauty to arrive as seen in the wonderful ads they have....don't you want it to be that nice when it arrives?...I certainly hope so ......will I stop buying Fender products because of this seemingly minor detail?...probably not... but like the Sheriff in Los Angeles....I think I would have a pow-wow with the boys in charge and either give a little pep talk or make arrangements for some replacements if the supervision is starting to slide and people are getting hurt.
