btw, I had a friend who worked at the Fender Corona plant. He told me that the only real USA Fenders were the Custom Shop ones. He said all the parts for Mexico and USA Fenders were all made in Mexico..
Wolfe also makes pickups that are vastly superior to what the majors are using.

This sounds more like opinion to me. I have four LPs and none of them exhibit the issues you mention. I'd love to have you over to check them out. And as for Fender, you're now comparing USA to Mexican, not Japanese. I've never been able to tell much difference in MIM, except maybe paint. Wolfe pickups are very nice, but I don't think they're Japanese either. I thought that was the topic.
