Being Fender Japan, I don't doubt the quality of it.

I do - I am unsold on the supposedly legendary quality of Fender's Japanese guitars. In my experience they are no better or worse than other comparably-priced Fenders, and in some cases the electronics are worse.

Otherwise, ridiculous price for a ridiculous guitar.

Guess it's a case of YMMV. Legend used to have it that for Fenders American > Japanese > Mexico > Somewhere Else in terms of price and quality. Being based in the UK in the past I saw very few American Fenders worth playing but most Japanese ones were a lot higher quality for less money. Guess we used to get the seconds from Fender America here generally. What happens now, couldn't say, wasn't getting out often to look at gear before Covid, now that is a distant memory.

Not for me.
