I play a Fender Nashville Telecaster that was assembled in Mexico. Has two Tex-Mex pickups in it, too. The sound? Like buttah! Just wait until I MIDI-fy my dobro!

I have a 77' Les Paul Custom, a 79' Strat and an 89' Strat.

All proudly made in the good ole USA. Everytime a strum one, I can thank the great craftmanship of Americans.

I've loved Martins since I was 10 yrs old. It has always meant a high standard of quality and craftsmanship and if you think this way, investment quality instrumnets. Last year a buddy of mine told me his wife bought him a Martin for Christmas. My jeolosy was replaced with dissapointment when I played it. It was nice, but the attention to detail wasn't there and the feel was a high average. I felt like Santa died and Brooke Burke put on 70 pounds. This only makes it worse. Martins high end stuff is still great but for my money Taylor guitars are better. .......Never thought I'd say that.

When you find the right Fender from a whole wall of Fenders, it might well be Mexican. There is nothing wrong with Mexican workmanship on Fenders. They might be mass-produced, but every instrument is different. Try before you buy.

I have a few FenderJazz basses. The one made in Mexico is that medium shade of light blue. I took off the pickguard, and replaced the neck with a Precision maple.

This series called DXM is their low-end.

My older brother has a few Martins old and new. Great guitars.

When I bought my Strat I tried every one in the store but didn't plug any of them in. I figure if the dry sound is there, and the pickups are so-so, the pickups can be replaced later. Looking for liveliness above the 12th fret.
