All USA Fenders are made in Corona.
There's only one Fender plant in the US = Corona.
There's only one Fender plant in Mexico = Ensenada
They actually hang them overhead to dry??
I thought it would go to a special room or soemthing
Don't mean to be a smartass but pre 1984 Strats were made in Fullerton, Ca.![]()
Do they also make Charvel San Dimas at this factory?
define "made."
The hot rods, EJs, and a lot of CS guitars are actually finished in mexico. Nitro is not sold (illegal to buy?) in CA.
this is what i've heard on the gearpage, so take it with a grain.
Actually pre 1985 might be the better date. I've tried to research when CBS pulled the plug on the Fullerton factory, and it appears that they might have done some assembly of parts made in 1984 on into maybe January or February of 1985. The Fullerton factory was definitely shut down before FMIC acquired the company in April 1985.
EDIT - I should add that FMIC didn't get the factory; just the name, designs, patents, etc. FMIC opened their factory in Corona sometime in mid-1986.
There was an intermediate place, I believe. Before the current factory opened in the mid-90's the facility was in a different Corona facility....
...someone must know.
