Gombrelli Guitars USA designs, wires and assembles all Hot Wired pickguards and Hot Rod Stratocasters in our Lecanto, Fla USA Hot Rod shop. All wiring is designed by Bruce Gombrelli and upgraded in the USA. Because our products are made with parts that often have unknown sources, or mixed sources(US and Asia) we use the following description interchangeably.
- Designed, Engineered and Assembled in the USA
- Designed and Assembled in the USA
- Made in USA of U.S. and imported parts
- Lecanto, Florida
The short answer is yes but part sources may be unknown (including the Fender parts we use).
So officially our products are designed, assembled and engineered in Lecanto, Florida in the UNITED STATES but our products may, and usually do, have components of Mixed Origin.
See Stratocaster design website for details on how products are labelled.
FINAL WORD
This distinction is crucial for consumers and is why major guitar manufacturers like Fender often use city-specific markings (e.g., “Corona, California”) instead of “Made in USA” on guitars isn't 100% domestic, which is pretty much never now. (in the old days it was 50%)
