Fender... made in the USA.
fender is also made in mexico and japan too,,,,,the mexican and japan models sell for about 400 too 600 new,,i work in a music store my self,,sell everything jacksons and deal with old gibson and fenders,,are store wont touch any of the new fender stuff besides amps
you know what makes gibson so spendy? its the paint jobs and wood,,they personaly grow there own wood i heard from a gibson dealer,,the necks are one solid peace of wood,,you will notice most othere guitar necks are 2 and 3 peices of wood,,the paint job is spendy,,because it aint that plastic crap they put on most guitars,,the finish makes the guitar worth a ton,,lol,even the new gibsons bring big bucks,,very good guitars,,but very heavy,,if you want a light gibson best to try a gibson sg:) angus special,,lol
fender,gibson,jackson,<~~all make very high quality guitars,,but!! they all so make low budget cheap guitars,,best exsample i ever seen,,,take apart a brand new fender usa,,then take apart a mexican made strat,,,you will be amazed by how small the electronics and pots are inside the mexican made strat,,just plain cheap,,,the usa made fender will have big oversides electronics,,heavier made and better made,,you get what you pay for,,they all may say gibson or fender,,but unless its usa made,your getting a cheap copy
how much you wanting for your 65 strat and do you have pics to post? good guitars:)
