Well I picked up an American Stratocaster HSS black in color today.
After the kids go upstairs I decide pull it out of the gig bag and give it the once over and get to know it a little better.
As I am flipping it over you know giving it a good once over looking for flaws in paint job or scuffs dings I may have missed in the store. I hear something moving around inside the guitar. WTH you got to be kidding me right.
I removed the sticker over the whammy bar hole cover and start shaking the the darn guitar and flipping it over and I no longer hear the sound. But I happen to look down and on the rug I see a little black spring.
So much for American Made well anyway I put it back in the gig bag it goes back Monday for an exchange to the store I got this from they had only this one so they'll have to get a replacement from Fender but that's their problem not mind.
Needless to say I am not getting the warm fuzzy feeling form the made in the USA Strat. MY MIM, MIK, and MIJ Fender gear had no issues at all my 1st USA and day one there is an issue. :thwap
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM................................... ................ :nope
