Lotimus, I love you. You respond to every topic with a novel of which 4% relates to previous topics/posts. "If your girlfriend was part Japanese, would you still love her?" :D I wish my wife was part Asian. That would be sweet.
I also like how you pegged this guy as blinded by an irrational sense of nationalism because he wants to know why the tuners on his American made guitar were produced in Japan. Way to blast him for his "silly out of date standards."


I also find it funny that Lotimus directed his post towards me and "my" guitar when, if you read the beginning of this thread, you would realize this was not about my guitar at all as I did not create the thread. I simply responded to it.

I obviously don't have a huge problem with what Fender is doing, quite the contrary, I own four American Series Fenders and I love each and every one of them. They are some of my best friends. I do however think it is a valid question from a consumer standpoint to know and understand what parts comprise the guitar and at what point should it, or not, concern you. Hey if you don't care great but if someone else wants to know don't jam it down their throat as some sort of misplaced racism.

Basically, Ceri and myself made an plain observation that had a little humour attached to it- thats all it was, it wasnt intended to ridicule, it just was an observation.

He made a point that his CIJ strat wasnt entirely made of Japanese components, and I made the point that my MIM strat isnt made from Mexican components either.

Nowhere on the specs for any guitar or product that fender produces, does it say where all the parts are made, or that they are made from all american components.

I hope this clears it up :)

Makes me wonder if my 3 Mid 80's MIJ Strats are all Japanese made. ;-)

No feathers, the tuners are American made.

Unfortunity (IMO), not much is 100% american. I try to buy american, in hopes to keep americans working. I don't have a problem, actually do like MIM, MIJ fenders guitars. I wouldn't let it bother you to much, it is what it is. As long as you enjoy your guitar, thats most important. :)
