Where exactly does Fender make guitars these days? I know they make some in Mexico and some in the USA; Squire makes some in China and some in Indonesia(?) I'm figuring the best ones are made in the USA - what other ones are some of the best... or worst?

I think Japan produces some very nice Fender guitars. Check out the Fender Japan website. 8)

Fenders USA factory is located in Corona California

they also produce guitars in a mexican factory in ensenada

American and Japanese fenders are some of the best guitars out there

Mexican ones and Squires are great cheap guitars

the Starcaster the fender strat that comes in a box with an amp are pretty bad these are made in china i believe.

I have both an American and a Mexican Tele and quite frankly the MIM gives the USA Tele a run for it's money. I actually think that comparing these two guitars the MIM is a better player and certainly better value for money. But I am only comparing these two guitars that I have here, you never know I may have the best MIM ever made and one of the worst examples from the US production line. This said they are still both great guitars.

I bought a Chinese squier strat recently and it really wasn't a bad guitar. And it was just an Iffinity. I also own an old $@! one with Dimarzio sds-1's. That's a great guitar.
