Well from what I have seen the prices of the MIM Fenders has been raised but the quality has not. Over the last few years the sampling of Baja Telecasters I have seen have had the absolute worst quality control of any model/manufacturer's guitars I have seen. The Classic Player Strats haven't been much better. The current Road Worns I have seen have also been very spotty in quality. It appears to me Fender's philosophy on their MIM guitars is crank the production numbers up as fast as possible with little regard for quality control.
