Members RaoulDuke Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm looking for online sites that sell Fender Japan stuff. I used to know a couple that had a big inventory but I can't remember anymore. Anybody know some good places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alex_SF Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 I think Fender cracked down on Ishibashi Web Shop sending Japan-market guitars to the USA, but they were one of the biggest online outlets until recently. Their web site now says "No export model from Fender Japan, Takamine, and Ibanez Japan is available from us." Can't help you locating others, sorry ... I don't even know if Ishibashi was the biggest outlet for Fender Japan, but they were the biggest outlet who made any effort whatsoever, such as it was, to have anything in English on their Web site. You'll probably have better luck if you can get some help surfing in Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Check CL too. In my neck of the woods, they are not uncommon (probably a few each week in the bay area...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yogi_Sizzle Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 You can still get Fender Japan stuff from Ishibashi, they just aren't allowed to send new guitars, and you have to buy used from their U-Box. This guy has a way of getting around it. I think he buys the guitars from dealers and then sells them to you, so technically they are "used" but never played. I have sent him a few emails and he seems on the up and up, as he also sells on Ebay and deals in vintage MIJs. http://www.music-trade.co.jp/currentfenderjapan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenbu Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 Ishibashi no longer sells UBox guitars overseas...you have to get them from e-bay now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 you can proxy...Also the Stratosphere on Ebay parts out brand new CIJs often times all they'll do is unbolt the neck and sell the guitar neck and fully loaded body right next to each other so for about $100 more you can have a brand new CIJ.

Members fulcrumpoint Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 I would talk to a Local Fender Rep. Each region has an assigned Rep. They are usually always happy to hunt down the guitar you are looking for. Just go to a local shop that sells Fender and talk to them about their Fender Rep. I just by chance when our Fender Rep was in asked if he had a guitar, and he ended up having a very rare piece at his home. The guitar was at the shop the next day.
