If you’re on a tighter budget and want something that’s a significantly better value, then the Mexican Telecasters are the way to go. They are high-quality guitars that give you 90% of what an American Telecaster would cost but at a fraction of the price. A Mexican-built Player Series Telecaster costs approx $800.
Similarly one may ask, are Fender player telecasters made in Mexico?
We all love Fender, but we don’t love spending thousands on a guitar. Luckily, Fender Player Telecasters are made in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico, close to the US border south of California, and are much more affordable, yet just as awesome as the American made guitars.
Beside this, how good are Mexican Fenders? That being said, Mexican Strats are still excellent sounding guitars. They deliver the same versatile range as the American Strats, with that same snappy tone quality. They just don’t have that extra oomph that makes an American Strat an American Strat.
