Made in Mexico Fenders
Currently, it is too early to say whether or not equipment, or materials, have been damaged, and Fender has made no official statements as of yet. However, it’s possible this fire could be a setback for production of Mexican-made Fender guitars.
The Ensenada factory is responsible for all of Fender’s mid-priced Made In Mexico guitars and, very recently, it was announced that the facility would be expanded to accommodate manufacture of the new Acoustasonic Player Telecaster.
We will update this article when and if more information becomes available.
