No price listed yet.
Could this mean that Fender will finally start bringing Japanese products state side again?

[aen]

Just a couple here and there. They'll never give us direct access to all the really great shit.

I bet those are cool guitars, but f-holes on a jag look slightly off to me. I'd have to see one in person/play it before I can really make up my mind on it.

i now have fifty boners

If they were gonna select a line from Fender Japan to bring overseas, couldn't it have been the Bass VIs?

hmmmm. on the one hand, my reaction to mutant Jags in general is a Whole Lotta Meh (bweeeeeeeeeoooowwwwwwwmmmm). on the other, when i consider the effect of the f-hole body on the thinline Telecasters it could be interesting. but then on the prehensile tail (work with me, people) it's an ash-over-alder body, which is going to be brighter than a hospital parking lot. so in conclusion, hmmmmm.

[cheesecats]

too much going on here for me--the jag is already busy without an f hole. but fender should make these models available worldwide. can the japanese not get u.s. models?

I think they can get them, but they're price jacked.

yea...i'm with ya

It's kinda weird...if it were a Jazzmaster I think I would like it more. The jag already has enough stuff going on with the chrome and switchies.

It's funny, the MIJ semihollow Jazzmaster doesn't have f-holes:



These also don't have body contours, but they do have front, back and neck binding...

[foomanfat]

Bound neck with dots looks super weird to me.

[Achtane]

I...don't like the way they look?
It's like there's just too much going on.

[Mudfuzz]

I don't get why they didn't do a Ric type of hole like a surfcaster... doesn't fender own Jackson anyway..?

[dubkitty]

probably because they're sticking with the f-hole design from the thinline Teles. which i agree is a mistake in the Jag design...it doesn't go with the aesthetic at all, does it?
