yep . I was with a but lookin to buy a Martin a few years back
& after 2 trips to the guitar store we had them narrowed down
to 5 . So we go back on the third day & he finally makes the
decision which one . Gets up to the register & that's when he
saw the paperwork with Made in Mexico . He didn't want one made on
Mexico & I can hang with that but we went back to the " good
guitar room " & he made his new decision almost purely on
USA/Mexico . The one he ended up with would not have been my first
choice but it is becoming a nice playable guitar , it's still
learning it's tone . I still think the one from Mexico sounded a
lot better to me ,? I finally quit telling him that after I said
in from of his wife one day & she ripped him pretty god for
that after I left . I know plenty of parents that went to Guitar
Center (? which I loathe ) to buy their kid a guitar for Christmas
or birthday & then find out later that the guitar was made in
Japan or Mexico . Their still nice playable guitars but American
see's Fender Guitars as a American company & that's what they
expect when they purchase .
