I bought a new one in 88, from a Fort Worth dealer. Due to presure from a girl's persistance, I then learned a little more about it; writing Fender. Their response was basic info: Mexican made, roughly 1200 (or so) made in 85-86. Mine was silver (which faded to a greenish color) the bridge pickup was replaced with an EMG active. The guitar got stolen in 1996, if you see mine, let me know!

I haven't seen your guitar but these were never made in Mexico. The Squiers were made in Korea and the regular ones were made only in Japan. I'm looking to buy one so if anyone knows of one somewhere please contact me and fill me in by e-mail, thanks Robt.
Re: Fender Katana
Not sure where some of you get your information. My Squier Katana says made in Japan right on the headstock! Not Korea. The Fender and Squier Katanas were only made in 1985 and 1986. Both were made only in Japan. The Squier version is going for about $450 US at this time (2009). Lot's of luck finding a Fender one. Collectors seem to have them and are not selling them.
Re: Fender Katana
I havn't come across one either. I have had mine for about four years and still love it. Good choice in guitars..
