Nov 8, 2004 · I tried a search, but only managed to get sporadic and inconsistent results. I ve heard lots of conflicting info about where certain Fender products are manufactured, as well as stories such as Japanese/Mexican/Chinese Fenders/Squiers are only assembled overseas from US parts, or painted and assembled in Mexico/Asia/Indonesia from US parts .
As of today, there are two companies located in China that are under contract with Fender. The first company is the Yako Musical Instruments Company. It is located in Zhangzhou, China. The company started to be Fender’s first factory that is under an original equipment manufacturing contract for their Squier guitars in 1994. The company’s I have a no-name Chinese P-bass knockoff that I bought for about $100 that I enjoy using just as much as my $1300 Fender P-bass, and sounds just as good once it goes through my pedalboard. Maybe I got lucky. But modern manufacturing has really closed the gap between what a $200 instrument and a $3000 instrument can do.
Jan 21, 2021 · For the purposes of conducting this review, we were granted full access to the Fender Play platform. There’s a statistic knocking around which says 90% of people who take up the guitar give up within the first year of playing. If you’re Fender, one of the biggest brands in the guitar world, this is clearly bad for business.
The Chinese have long been dogged by claims of counterfeiting and piracy, and it is true that many “fake” Fenders and Gibsons have been purchased online by unsuspecting consumers. The old adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”, would apply to any purported American guitar in a lower price range. May 17, 2020 · The Indo was fine, but just liked the look and feel of the early Chinese more. I had a 2008 CV60s worked on by a well respected luthier (and a former Fender Custom Shop guy) who overhauled it after a bunch of years of hard play, and his opinion was that the CV was as good or better in terms of materials and workmanship to MIM Fenders and many Dec 20, 2022 · New York. Dec 20, 2022. #2. Remember, the Bullets are Squier's lowest rung in cost. Millions are churned out. They can't catch everything. It's not a Chinese vs. Indonesian issue. The CV models are more than twice the price of the Bullets, and are Squier's premier guitars. More care is given to the CV's in the factory.
Jul 8, 2019 · They both have the 9.5" radius on the neck which I believe is what is actually on Geddy's bass. I believe Fender switched from a 7.25" radius on the Jazz Bass to 9.5" radius either in the mid-70's or early 80's (a little help here!). Geddy's Jazz is a '72 though, so they both may be the wrong neck radius.

Yup. That's a "real" Fender made in China. It's a Modern Player IIRC, I played one when they first came out. The quality is virtually identical to the CV Squier range (which I believe are also made in China). The only thing that put me off was that the guitar is a rather unfetching shade of orange in the flesh and the neck finish is a bit thick
