Not that all this China-bashing is anywhere near the topic.įrom: Kingwood, Texas, 77339 The Liveable Forest Look around your house, read where everything's made, including checking the labels in all your clothes and you'll have your answer. What is going to happen to the American economy when EVERYTHING is being made in China? But honestly guys and gals, what is going to happen to the American economy when EVERYTHING is being made in China ? Even this computer I am using is made in China ! I saw a WAL*MART documentary this evening which showed many US industries chained and locked because of the imbalance of trade between the US and China. No disrespect to this little gem.it is probably great.Jody approves of it. Now now, Jules Ah See, Barney Isaacs, Eddie Pang, Myself and the rest of the Squad Pake say play nicely. Here,my comment was that for the price and only for those who want a Fender Its a good little guitar.No hard feelings lets keep this cival OK? Lets go easy here, I realize Leo is no longer Only because he has much better taste, but I'm still laffin! I know, but at least I beat Howard to the punch this time.

If it's good enough for Jody, it's good enough for me. The best part about it being made in China is, that an hour after you've played, you're ready to play again! If the production run is short for any reason, they may increase in value someday, and you'll have a brand new one in mint condition.
That way, you can play one or two, and rathole one. If you like 'em, buy one, or buy a couple or more of 'em.

Iffin' you say it's sweet'n hot, then no one can doubt it. I'm aware of many of the reasons USA-made products cost more, so I don't whine, I just pay more to get American-made (if there's a choice) and end up with a smaller pile of "stuff" in the long run, but that's probably a good thing. I agree about folks that complain about the price, then complain about imported proucts. Then, it wouldn't be "too much" (after all, it would be a custom-made guitar). I pay "too much" for many products by choice in order to help keep some of my neighbors working, but I wouldn't pay that much for one, unless I had a considerably higher income than I do now. That's out of my price range, but not everyone's. Jim - Fender's custom shop might make one for $2000 (approx 5 times as much as Chinese-made). You said it all my friend and I could not have said it better.Longer?yes but not better I'm sure the Fender Custom Shop could make one in the U.S., if you don't mind paying about 5 times more for it.hmmmm?įunny how people complain about the price of everything and then complain when something's made outside the U.S. Made in China? sure,you can order takeout chinese,but you can take this Fender out and blow the walls down.So you can just call this baby "A take out "FENDER" you can take this cute baby anywhere. I have one and it plays fine sounds great an priced fair. Topic: Fender FS-52 lap Steel - The New One!įrom: The Knight Of Fender Tweed.
