Guys, how could you have forgotten? It doesn't matter what wood or pickups Fender or Gibson's use. Each guitar has twang and baldness inducing blues wankery pixy dust rubbed into it before it leaves the factory!
Explain this to me, please. If your roughly $1500-$2000 ESP was made in the USA, it would suddenly not be worth what you paid?I can tell you this - If my Eclipse was USA made and not Japanese made, I certainly wouldn't feel it was worth it's price, either.
Baldness, and blues wankery be damned... I love my fender.Guys, how could you have forgotten? It doesn't matter what wood or pickups Fender or Gibson's use. Each guitar has twang and baldness inducing blues wankery pixy dust rubbed into it before it leaves the factory!
They use extra for the Olympic White color.
They have a bottle of Leo Fender and Les Paul's jizz stored away just for this process (warning kids that's not pixie dust).

I can't speak for Fender, but Gibson is too busy supporting Guitar Center and Musicians Friend with lower grade guitars for the masses that they have diluted the company to a point where they are turning out shit. Anything worth a damn from Gibson will come from the Custom Shop by a master luthier, but it is all show. And, they are too busy suing luthiers like Gil Yaron, Ken McKay and others for reproducing period correct replicas. Instead of suing, they should license these guys.
I didn't think about it that way.My guess is that he's probably saying that if it was made in the USA to the same quality it was made in Japan, it'd probably cost significantly more.
But that's just a stab in the dark, I really have no idea.
I don't really see any other way to interpret his statement but that he thinks Japanese labor is intrinsically better and/or more valuable than American labor.I didn't think about it that way.

I have a strat. It's nice. The vintage pickups weren't what I needed so I replaced them. Thanks to Paul Gilbert and his injectors, and some dimarzio area 67s, I now have a guitar that can so almost anything from vintage to all out modern rock. Oddly my mesa throttle pedal sounds best with the strat! And for those who say fender didnt update their designs, please have a look at the fender American deluxe strat. That S1 switch coupled with the modernish neck profile and the reduced heel is a great take on a classic guitar. I believe there's even a HSS version?
