My MIM is MZ2 + 6 digits as well;
the http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx I mentioned identified it as

Code:
Guitar Info
Your guitar was made at the
Ensenada Plant (Fender), Mexico
in the Year(s): 2002 - 2003


Fender Mexico
Fender Mexico was established in on May 5th 1987, Ensenada, Mexico with electric guitar production beginning in 1989. Ensenada facility includes eight buildings, covering more than 200,000 square feet. This includes Electronics, Electric Guitar, Amplifier Cabinet, and String manufacturing. More than 1000 employees are on staff and are supported by the Fender Quality Control team which travels from Corona to Ensenada once a week to help maintain quality. Fender Mexico guitars and amplifiers are made using many U.S. components, again maintaining the highest standards.



Fender seems to have many versions of serial numbers :)

My MIM is a QMT alder body and has all US made hardware components, except the pups which were changed to Lace alumitones.

Sort of wondering what is actually made in Mexico, seems more like it is US parts assembled in Mexico.
