Fender Prodigy 1991 SOLD

The Prodigy series featured two single coil pickups and one humbucker at bridge position. The body shape was similar to that of the Stratocaster, however still had distinctive features, such as offset body, sharper body edges, and smaller headstock. Prodigy was relatively different from Fender HM Strat since it still followed Leo Fender's classic design with the Stratocaster's floating tremolo system. The Prodigy II was introduced in 1992 with Kahler locking tremolo & nut system instead; Fender/Schaller Tuners, Black hardware. These Fender Prodigy and Prodigy II guitars were actually produced (cut, sanded, etc.) in the US. Not with premium materials as someone edited it. It lacks at the jack design which makes the bridge arm getting stuck with the cable plug.

The headstock is imprinted with "Made in U.S.A." which has mislead many people to believe the Prodigy had been manufactured entirely in the United States, when it clearly had not. The Prodigy necks and bodies were cut at the Fender factory in Corona, California, but then shipped to the Fender factory in Ensenada, Mexico to be sanded, have the finish applied, and then subsequently assembled into finished guitars with Mexican made components.
