Are you sure its even possible/legal to buy a guitar there at the factory?
Some maquilladora goods are not legally sold/available in mexico.I can't
imagine that if they will sell you a guitar there though it would be much
cheaper than what you could get one for online here. They are too close to
the gigantic southern California market to discount them too deeply. They'd
only piss off their dealer network in SoCal. The one real advantage though
of buying there would be the chance to pick the wood grain, color, neck,
action, etc with benefit of max choices.Have a great time.....if you go to
the factory, bring all the tuner/pickup/switchgear upgrades your heart
desires, and let the factory install em all for you on the body of your
choice.....
