I have had a few people reach out to me asking how is the USA made Fender Jim Root Fender Strat vs the Fender Jim Root Tele that is made in Mexico. Additionally, it's also interesting to compare USA made vs Mexican made Fenders to see what the difference really is between guitars, especially if you have a couple models that have almost the same spec. Is a USA made Fender really worth it compared to Mexican made? I go over all of this in the video. Thanks for watching! Questions? Ask away! I try to respond to all or as many as I can.
