Members sammyreynolds01 Posted June 20, 2018 Members Share Posted June 20, 2018 Nope. They're the same price as my MIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 As I understand it, yes - they just changed the series name and models / features - they're still building them in Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted June 21, 2018 Members Share Posted June 21, 2018 Now they are. If they bomb they'll try other names until one hits and then they'll charge more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members webe123 Posted June 24, 2018 Members Share Posted June 24, 2018 Let's see.....the guitars in question are STILL made in Mexico but the name has changed.Sounds like they are taking a page from the Gibson Guitars playbook...take the same basic product....call it something else....change just enough on it so nobody knows what you are doing....and make a killing off of it from suckers who THINK they are getting a Bargain! What do you have....GENIUS......on Fender's part anyway....LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
