Yeah guys that's what he is saying, that its a 1994 so its all parts made in USA but assembled in Mexico. And he said that too, that it was the quality that was making them more desirable, thats why I was asking. I know it doesn't have a street value of much now, but its year and stuff... do you think with all that in mind its just a sales ploy or is there a ring of truth in that statement


To this day, Fender Mexico is still producing stuff with materiel shipped to them from the US factory. So, even though the Mexican plant has become more autonomous in terms of final construction, that supply link has never been broken.

From what I've seen since 2006 though, the inherent quality of the materiel with the Mexican stuff all around has skyrocketed and still continues to do so. In other words, IMHO, the best years for Mexican Stratocasters is right now. YMMV.

Well thanks everyone. Now. I am going to have this beautiful American Standard 08 model that will not be touched except to be played. The MIM in the other hand will be heavily modified and even relic-ized a bit as the "fun" or project guitar! I don't really care if its collectable. I just wanted a decent enough strat at a decent enough price that i could mess with and it sounds like from everyone's input that is what I will have. THANKS EVERYONE!! :D :D
