Which is the difference between a Fender Standard Stratocaster and an American Stratocaster?
I want to know that because I can't understand why it's a big price difference between this two guitars.
Fender Stratocasters are built in America, Mexico, Japan, and Korea.
American Series and Highway One series Stratocasters are made in a Fender factory in Corona, California, United States of America and are commonly called Made In America (MIA) Stratocasters. There is also a Fender Museum there open to the public.
Most other Stratocaster series models are made in a Fender factory in Ensenada, Mexico and are often labelled as Made In Mexico (MIM). Guitar necks are still manufactured in the Corona factory and sent to the Ensenada factory to be mounted onto guitars.
The Fuji Gen Gakki factory in Matsumoto, Japan, is also licensed to manufacture Fender Stratocasters, but exclusively for the domestic market. However, second-hand or earlier Made In Japan (MIJ) or Crafted In Japan (CIJ) Stratocasters can be found in foreign markets. Fender Japan had previously used the MIJ label, but switched to CIJ shortly after it limited guitar production to the domestic market.
There is also a budget-minded Squier brand of Stratocasters by Fender, and is popular among novice guitarists. These Squier Stratocasters, while being produced at lower cost than Fender Stratocasters, are otherwise similar in concept and maintain similar respective quality standards. While Squier Stratocasters are predominantly inexpensive versions of Fender Stratocasters, some models are also unique to the Squier brand, such as the OBEY Graphic series or Hello Kitty series.
