Minnesota you mentioned that mim and American standards use same pots...it's funny but I just came from Sam ash here in NYC and was looking at genuine fender cts pots and they come from Taiwan....

I thought cts was American made....

Anyhow I have received some real good knowledge on wood which I was oblivious to...

Please keep the comments coming because I am thoroughly enjoying this topic

That is absolutely wonderful info....so the difference in price points would seem to be in the electronics and labor?

Quality of pickups, polyester paint vs polyurethane, more pieces of wood in mim. pots are the same in both.

The attention paid rolling the edges of the neck and dressing the ends of the frets is much better on the MIA guitars, the pickups are generally much better, the tuners are ping vs. schaler, and then there is the marketing aspect which certainly also adds to the difference in price point.
