INFO:
1990 Saw the first MIM guitars ship out. First year was problematic with part shortage. Therefore, specs can vary the first 1-2 years. Different hardware, Block Saddles, Sometimes 22 Frets necks and different decals etc.
February 1994: The Factory burns down and all production is temporary moved to USA.
Fender builds a factory much larger within 100 days and resumes production in Ensenada.
