I currently have no USA Fenders!
Tried a few, but I've ended up with a few extra quid in my pocket and a better-playing CIJ or MIM instead. Someday I might spring for a USA 52RI "just because" but I'm not feeling that GAS badly enough yet..
My last two adoptions have been MIM, one I got via mail-order (72 tele deluxe RI) and thus admit to gambling on (it turned out to be absolutely excellent) and one I bought in the shop there & then BECAUSE it was amazing (50's P-bass).
I have a couple Korean-made special editions which are also very good.
The fact is, each country is going to produce good ones, and bad ones. You need to try a few anyway to find the one that's best for you. It's never so simple as 'this one's more expensive and therefore always better.'
