Just wondering where the Classic Series of Fender's guitars are made from. I'm assuming any guitar that doesn't fall under the American categories is made in Mexico?

There's one in the six-Tele comparison test in the June 2007 Guitar & Bass Magazine (British). Check Chapters/Indigo in your area if you have trouble finding it.

Also there are many, many threads about the MIM Classics, Bajas and MIA Hwy 1's in the Telecaster Discussion Page forum. The 50's and 60's Classics are going to have 7 and 1/4 radius, vintage frets and Ping (Chinese) Kluson reissues. A Baja is going to have a 9 and 1/2 radius and bigger frets and (perhaps?) Gotoh Kluson reissues. The new series of HWY 1's has a 70's-style headstock, and on a new one I saw in a store two weeks ago, not exactly a US vintage bridge plate.
