The stuff Fender sells in Japan that they don't here...

Why can't Fender USA put a Floyd and a maple board on the same guitar?

Right? That's all I want.

You know what I love about modern MIJ Fenders? Their rosewood. They always use really nice, really dark rosewood. They might stain them, but I dig the ebony look.

That's 'cause you like fancier appointments.

I see your red Mustang and raise you a trans blue.

Seriously, the blue is so much better, especially that deep richer blue.

Thinline strats eh? Cool idea, dunno that I've ever seen that before.

For a company that comes up with some really fresh approaches to old standards, their website sucks. No previews and you have to click each model to see what it looks like? wtf?

This is caught my eye... drool0

that's not bad at all for a Strat

Still MIJ, but add dimarzios and you'd just described an early 90s HRR strat

 

[bubkusjones]

I want this one a lot.

 

[Grave Bomber]

We should all buy one and start some kind of MIJ Fender club. Of course, OGG will be The Great Leader.

I hit translate when I popped up in my browser and some of the descriptions are priceless.

"For a base (VintageSpecial) VSP model that was manufactured in the technology of domestic highest peak, high-flying, Fender Japan was produced in Limited Edition 30th Anniversary model."

"The material in the ST62 model was clothed body in the Japanese style pattern that is impressive, it is the appearance of ST62-SPL compromise between East and West Stratocaster exactly."

^That's damn good compared to some of the tradetang stuff.

Because they don’t want Fender USA competing with Charvel and Jackson. Creates too many redundant marketing costs.

I am OGG, and I approve this message.

Srsly....MIJ/fujigen HRR 50s
OFR
Maple board
Basswood body
Dimarzio bridge humbucker, splittable w/ pull up tone knob
Kulson style vintage tuners

I had one in Olympic White that was a great guitar.

The Hot Rod Reissue 60s was more or less the same guitar w/ a rosewood board.

I tried to post a photo of the all black bound strat. Awesome.

I had a strat similar to this once - MIJ and fantastic. I wasn't aware they were still producing these.

You guys are killing me with this thread.

Yup.

Having a good friend who lives in Japan and spends every August back here in SoCal makes avoiding the temptation even harder. He is always asking me if there's anything I want him to bring over with him.
