I just bought an American Telecaster. I guess they are one of the few things that are still primarily produced here (some guitars). But yeah the store owner told me that fender is about to raise prices across the board regardless of whether or not something is American made or not.

That does follow psychological marketing logic.
Guitars are - essentially - a luxury item, brand guitars especially so.
If you are a 'prestigious' manufacturer, and you raise the price only on the imported stuff, not the all-American one, you are comparatively 'devaluing' the local-made guitar as compared to the ones that are made abroad.
