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.

That's a tough one and I am so sorry to hear that! Things like this have even happened to us and boy oh boy...that gets me as well. So my apologies for those circumstances. And an Australian to boot...y'all are the best, shucks! I think they are killing at at Fender at the moment but you are for sure right. As the corporate structures change above, so does the flow below. Fingers crossed for both of those iconic companies!

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.

The same thing happened to me in 2021. I checked the Fender website and it appeared that the tour was still available. Got there and was told by an employee that tours were no longer done due to Covid. Needless to say, we were disappointed and having been a lifelong Fender owner I was pissed. I should have called first.

I have seen a Jointer kill before; it was not pleasant. Board slips out of the grip or guide and flies back and will stick in your head. Even several feet away. You NEVER walk behind past that when it is turned on. While cutting wood or not. When it is turned off, then you can proceed. That was a day in high school I will never forget.

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!

These sales are already declining. How long can they keep selling such expensive guitars that are mainly played in bedrooms once a week for 30 mins.

How can you call it a "Custom Shop" when its just hundreds of people in a factory building a crap ton of guitars on an assembly line.

Did you listen to the video? They hand select wood at the beginning versus the mindset “ehh, let’s just see what comes out of it.” Nothing about the phrase “Custom Shop” runs counter to this operation. If you want just one individual to handle your Fender guitar, go masterbuilt.

Man oh man! Are you serious? What do you want them to do? Have 3 employees and build 200 guitars per year? haha Its a custom shop. Customers order guitars built to their specifications! Hello, all manufacturing has a LINE. There is a start and a finishing point. What is happening in this SHOP is totally different from a mass produced production line. Again, so, how would you lay out your guitar shop? Have builders working on 3 levels and walking around in circles round and round? LMFAO! You need a damn line to produce everything. SMFH!

Let me educate you. It's called temporary employees! You are hired as a temp to fill a production demand and It's clearly stated when you are hired. When the demand is met, you are dismissed. This happens in all types of manufacturing. I worked for a German firearms manufacturer and there was an incredible boom after the Sandy Hook shooting and they had to hire 15 TEMP production workers to keep up with demand. Guess what happened when the demand was met? BYE BYE! ha

Methinks the word ‘custom’ isn’t quite accurate. More like expensive fender assembly factory line. Can’t really see a luthier anywhere. Just a bunch of assembly workers getting about $25 per hour max for repetitive tasks. And we wonder why no one wants to do factory work.

Why do people say Fender Mexico is junk and USA made is so much better? It’s obvious from this video that a good portion of the custom shop workers appear to be Mexican. They just live a few hours north of Ensenada otherwise they would be working there doing the same quality work that they do in Corona. I hope everyone on the gear page watches this video and gets educated.

not sure anyone says its junk offhand. maybe some do. anyhow, it's not just where the workers live. it's the materials and components chosen, and the amount of time the worker is allowed to spend on each step. it doesn't mean you can't find a good example of a MIM guitar. it just means you are more likely to find that custom shop examples are at a higher level more often.
