People from Texas are Not Tex's nor are people from Mexico Mex's. I also find it offensive that when Fender considers it "special" then its "Texas Specials" but when in collaboration with mexico,its only"tex-Mex".Is it that fender does not think Mexico special enough to be in full accord with Texas? Texas and Mexico have a long and rich history with each other,and should be placed with the same appreciation and equality.
Why does Fender and some members of this forum consider it appropriate to protect the Japanese but Not the Texans,and not the Mexicans. It is a travesty and must be addressed and rectified. from now on I insist that the product be known as,"Texas-Mexicans specials",as it is only fair,to all involved.We shold be inclusive NOT exclusive.In that vein we must extend the same considerations and protections to all or to none.
I am also curious about this "Limited edition Fender Blues Junior "Texas Red" is that some sort of accusation of politcal affiliation? I say it must be looked into.

Consider this. The "Lone Star" Stratocaster is a Tex-Mex collaboration. Perhaps it would be preferential to some if it had been a Mex-Tex collaboration, because M precedes T in the alphabet, but I would suspect it reflects not only who put up the chavo for the production facilities, but the fact that Texas is "The Lone Star" state.

Now, an "Alamo Stratocaster", for all the historical reasons, would have to be assembled in a relatively neutral territory. We take the electronics, hardware and plastics from Texas, the bodies and necks from Mexico, send them all over to Japan to be finished and assembled, and then shipped worldwide for distribution and sale. The economies of all three nations get a piece of the action. The only issue yet to be resolved is.......
.......does Santa Ana's likeness go on the front or the back of the guitar :?:

I would vote for the back, for reasons which are definitedly not politically correct, cannot be gone into detail here, but which, I have no doubt, would speak to the heart of every red blooded Texan world wide :wink:
