Description

No: Guitar Stop does not sell and ship items to Canada or Internationally. Due to our dealer agreements with the Manufacturers of the items we sell, we are only allowed to ship items in the Continental USA.

All of the American and Mexican made Fender guitars start at the factory in Corona, CA. The lumber for the bodies and necks are shipped to the Corona factory where they are cut, fretted and inspected. At this time it is determined whether a guitar body will be painted a solid color or if the wood is nice enough to have a natural or transparent finish. Extremely nice pieces of wood are set aside for the Custom Shop. The Corona factory manufactures pickups, pickguards, bridges, metal chassis for amplifiers, neck plates, metal bridge covers and metal pickup covers.

The Fender tour starts at the factory in Ensenada, Mexico, proceeds to the Corona factory in California and ends with a classroom education of Fender's history and products. The program provides the attendants a general knowledge of Fender's manufacturing techniques and products. The first stop on the tour was the factory located in Ensenada, Mexico. This factory manufactures strings, pickups and wooden amplifier cabinets. Rough guitar necks and bodies are shipped from the Corona factory to be sanded, painted and assembled.
