Yes...no. Wrong.

Though the Corona factory probably does use Mexicans, like most major businesses. The MIA guitars have different electronics and better build quality. Although some MIM's can be as nice as MIAs. You are right, however, about the labor. In the U.S. it is a little more expensive.

BTW, do you have any guitars? LOve to see one.

And you no this how. You following employees checking time cards? It not as much as where its made but the quality of the product fender uses to create the differential between there products. Its not brain science!!!!You want better pay more!!!! The way bussiness is run is the same for everything. 399.00 guitar is a Fender leader get your business . Be happy with what you have or in your case what you are getting you don't need to justifie it. Thats if you are the one getting it next week either it's the same. Be happy with it don't try to convice yourself here.

Yes you are right there My Friend. Sometimes it as though people think they have to defend owning the lowest cost guitar in the line. There is nothing wrong with that. I have several of them and enjoy them very much. They are great quitars. That said I do no the differences between them.

Every time I see a stupid thread it's stratman10114 at work. You're getting a reputation here. Try participating in a positive manner instead of repetitively posting the same boring posts, time after time.
