Explain me Fender guitars, for I am a dumbass

so they now make guitars in usa, mexico, china, japan (still??), any other places?

sry that's not really a weird question.

still some korean production as well, not sure if they have anything out of indonesia. various rumors abt the starcasters (which are bizarrely unmarked with country of origin) being made in india (this is not good, those have been some pretty terrible guitars throughout history)

have you ever heard stories about someone attempting to insert their Fender rectally? if so, how far did he/she get?

(look, you're the one who asked for weird questions)

did i ever tell you about the dude who got his arm stuck in his acoustic guitar and drove over to the shop with it hanging out his car window

hahaha yes you did, classic

iirc the special technique you used to get his arm out of the guitar was "pull arm out of hole"

we i lived in india we bought some really awesome/awful and cheap musical equipment for various shitty bands i was in. "ivanez" guitars e.g. i vaguely remember a wah-wah pedal that had a string between the expression pedal and the base.

thats actually a sort of timehonored tradition tho, at least with volume pedals, the old ernie ball/fender/dearmond volume pedals all ran/still run with a string loop.

oh cool, i guess it was an artisanal handcrafted wahwah then

Library coworker of mine did this interview with the guy who did the Fender history book:
