I’ve been to visit the Fender factory twice, flown from Aus to LA to visit, emailed them and checked the schedule and all was good. Then, on both occasions when I arrived on the day I was told, ‘Ahh, we’ve decided to close early this year’, ‘oh sorry, we’re doing an upgrade’. All things that could have been passed on to me earlier, before I flew half way around the world to visit. I have quite a few Fender products. - guitars and Amps and was so disappointed in their engagement with me. Glad they took the time to take you guys through. It has saved me another attempt. It took me a long time to buy another Fender. But one thing I have noticed is the differences between the Fender and Gibson factories at the moment. There seems to be a lot more attention to detail and overall professionalism going on at the Gibson Factory in the last few years (their prices probably reflect that too 😂). I think with any company and management this will ebb and flow, but Fender needs to start to clean up their act, stop taking customers for granted.

They did that to you because they don’t want you to see how they EXPLOIT cheap labor that comes from the border. It’s true I PROMISE! 90% of fenders production workers are illegals that can’t speak a word of English. I know for a fact. Fender like many companies exploit undocumented people and use them for cheap labor. They did. Not want you to see it. That is the reason. I’ll bet anything on it.

Ok communist. What do you do for work? Tell me, so I can see how much you should be paid. Take a course in basic economics and manufacturing! So commie, how much do you think one of these custom shop guitars should cost? Before ya make an ass out of yourself, do the math starting with the labor costs! The facility and materials cost. Top wood and nitro finishes! Production and custom assembly is totally different and if you can't see it you are a bleep. For starters, for the most part, each guitar is special ordered with specific details. A production assembly line is a designed guitar model that is mass produced! There are no variants, The CNC machines are programmed, all the parts are bought, put in bins and the production workers assemble them. Totally different from customer ordered spec guitars. That is why they cost double and triple what an American pro II costs. No different than a mass produced assembly line automobile compared to an German or italian made custom sports car. Again, how much should fender charge for a custom shop guitar inside your communist mind? 500, 1000, 1500? HAHA!

It’s a pity they never checked the radius on my custom shop nocaster headstock. The corner radius is far too rounded off. In hindsight I should have not bought the guitar. It looks crap
