    Probably due to cheaper labour and lower taxes, but irrespective of their prices they are fantastic instruments and are easily up there with the U.S Fenders. I'd say go for it! :D

    I think when you buy a USA made Fender you are paying a bit extra for the name. Japan Fenders have a very good quality rep but would be looked down on a bit in teh US just cos they're not made in AMerica. Some Japanese Fenders are reputed to use cheaper pots/switches/wiring than the US made ones although many use US pickups.
    FWIW I have one and I'm very happy with it (esp for the price) but I dont have a US one to compare it to.
