Currently, it is too early to say whether or not equipment, or materials, have been damaged, and Fender has made no official statements as of yet. However, it’s possible this fire could be a setback for production of Mexican-made Fender guitars.
The Ensenada factory is responsible for all of Fender’s mid-priced Made In Mexico guitars and, very recently, it was announced that the facility would be expanded to accommodate manufacture of the new Acoustasonic Player Telecaster.
