Members TeamoDave Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Maybe one of our reputable Aussies or Europeans would like to get into the business of importing to the USA? :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rushfan2112 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'd be glad to do it. The guitar is 650 to ship it to Japan. It's about $100 to ship it from Japan to America, right? Maybe a bit more. Throw in a bit more money for the shipper (of course, I'd pay all the fees). hey sei...

Members Klisk Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Holy {censored}, they really don't ship to america anymore? This {censored}ing blows. I've ordered so much through them. Maybe it's just fender stuff they don't ship? Or is it everything? Everything I've ever gotten through them was either Killer, or ESP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rushfan2112 Posted March 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Fender Japan stays in Japan, I guess. There's a telecaster and a Jazzmaster I want that I could get for the same price as one AVRI Jazz here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4Kenoath Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Wasn't it because Jap Fenders were made to a higher standard than MIA's and were selling for much cheaper?Why compete when you own the whole lot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why compete when you own the whole lot anyway. I think the American ones have better electronics, but overall build quality for MIJ stuff is very high and on par with most US made stuff. Every MIJ Fender I have played has been a very quality guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members utterhack Posted March 7, 2007 Members Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yes, they still ship to America - everything but Fender Japan, which slapped their wrist last year. And if you find any Fender Japan in their used section, they'll gladly ship that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jackpotjewell Posted March 23, 2007 Members Share Posted March 23, 2007 Damn...what a cool looking guitar...my favourite colour too. How's the hardware and sound and feel? And how much? thanks. The hardware all seems to be good, pickups are kind of crummy so I ordered some vintage vibe jaguar sized P90's. It feels great, right on par with the american series. The frets are smaller though, and I switched out the bridge with a Warmoth modified mustang bridge. After all is said and done it will end up having cost me right about as much as on of the american made jags, but I really wanted the matching headstock, and block inlays.
