I remember when fender started importing the black (with black headstock) jaguar HH. You could only get black and I thought that to be a dumb move.
THEN I searched for jags on ebay and there were japanese stores selling that guitar to people in the states in EVERY color. Burgundy mist was killer on that guitar.
I am told that the fender japan catalog is thick like a sears catalog or a phone book!
THey make EVERYTHING ins every incarnation it would seem.
Once in awhile they made something and the quality was funky but 99% of the time I liked them better than the american fenders. Except the pickups don't always sound quite as good. But usually pretty darn good.
The last bass I owned before I finished my personal Coquette bass was a japanese blue flower tele bass reissue. It was pretty cool!
