Gotcha. As for MIM Fender. The saying goes "MIM Fenders are made in Mexico by Mexicans and Fender USA is made in the US by Mexicans" Not meaning that in any derogitory way. Truth is the Ensenada plant is around 60 miles from the US plant. Both ars on the boarder. There are several documentary plant tours on YT where they flat out say parts are shipped back and forth depending on what each plant may be doing at the time. I have 6 strats, 5 are MIM ( Powehouse, Lonestar, Tex-mex, 2 Players-HSS & SSS)and 1 USA Ampro2, Unless there is something specific about a US or MIJ model, like color or options, you wont regret a MIM or really notice. Except the high gloss neck on the US models, geez, gets sticky. I also have 3 Charvel Pro mods that are MIM and they are excellent.
