You sure about that? I'm not arguing...I really don't know. It just sounds like an urban legend started by Ebay sellers wanting to squeeze more money out of unwitting buyers.DuoSonicBoy wrote:The earliest squiers were made from NOS Fender parts from the sixties - they really sound fantastic and feel great.
not $1200 great, though

I just find it hard to believe that Fender just had a bunch of old 60's guitar parts laying around for 15-20 years, then decided to send them over to Japan to build guitars with.
er, no. Fender Japan didn't exist when CBS bought fender USA. When Bill Schultz told cbs to GTFO, he sent production to the japanese factory, where they still knew how to make guitars while he saved fender US and taught everybody how to make motherfuckng guitars.FLICKOFLASH wrote:When Fender was sold the 50's machinery & old stock from the old factory was shipped to fender/Japan .

I think thats basically what he was saying. For a while Fenders were being made only in Japan while the US lot were being sorted out. The company that makes Fenders in Japan is not actually Fender but the license everything from them.aen wrote:er, no. Fender Japan didn't exist when CBS bought fender USA.
