Connection. com. Fender Japan was officially created in March 1. Fender USA, Yamano Music Instrument Fender USA and Gibson Distributor that time and Kanda Shoki Grecos distributor. Around 1. 97. 6 1. Many Japanese Guitar MFGs made the replica of Fender guitars. Specially, Kanda shokai, they were distributing the Greco brand Guitar made by Fujigen. Fujigen invested several CNC machine to produce the accurate wood body shape without time consume. The guitars Fujigen made were distributing with GRECO Brand as super real series. On the other hand, Tokai and other MFGs are distributing their guitars with high technical productivity. The technology of those guitars were evaluated worldwide better quality than original Fender guitars. It seems that Fender USA established the Fender Japan as one of solutiondecision to protect their brand name and market. The Fender Japan guitar manufacturing contract was originally going to go to Tokai in 1. Fender choose Fujigen Gakki instead. Some Fujigen made Fender replica between 1. Atlansia. Tokai and Dyna Gakki took over the production of the Fender Japan models from Fujigen in 1. The Tokai made Fender Japan guitars are not exported from Japan but some of the Dyna Gakki made Fender Japan guitars are exported. Dyna Gakki have made various guitars for Kanda Shokais Greco brand. Terada made the Fender Japan acoustic guitars such as the Fender Catalina. Made in Japan and Crafted in Japan and its rumors. According to a Fender representative, it was in the Fender Japan contract that if there was a change of manufacturer from Fujigen Gakki to another guitar factory then the logo would be changed from MIJ Made in Japan to CIJ Crafted in Japan. The first CIJ Fenders start around 1. Japanese Fenders up till 1. MIJ Fenders. In 1. Fujigen were expanding their factory operations by establishing Fujigen Hirooka Inc. Gibson like necks contracts such as the Orville by Gibson contract. At the result of production delay during this Fujigen new facility expansion, Dyna Gakki took over some of the production of the Japanese Fender models which resulted in a CIJ logo being used on some Japanese Fenders instead of a MIJ logo. CIJ is mostly used on Fenders from 1. Tokai and Dyna Gakki taking over the Fender Japan manufacturing contract from Fujigen Gakki in 1. The Fender Squire were also brought into line to be in sync with the Japanese Fenders at around the same time 1. Crafted rather than Made being used. Made in Japan is used on some current Fender Japan models 2. Crafted in Japan. Fender Japan starts production with Fujigen Gakki having the manufacturing contract. The Made in Japan MIJ logo is used. CBS sells Fender to its current owners and while waiting for a new USA factory to begin production, Fender Japan models and leftover USA stock were mostly sold in the USA for a few years. The first Crafted in Japan CIJ models start appearing due to Dyna Gakki taking over some of the manufacturing while Fujigen were expanding their operations. Crafted in Japan CIJ is used instead of Made in Japan MIJ. Tokai and Dyna Gakki took over the manufacturing contract from Fujigen Gakki. Why Fender Japan stopped the deal with Fujigen I have heard that Kanda and Fujigengot a serious quality issues. Since Fender Japan started, Fujigen has been supplying most of. Fender Japan products. Dyna was a sub constructor of Fujigen too. Fujigen didnt listen the requests from Fender Japan. Then, finally, they decided to cancelthe contract. As you may know, Fender Japan Kanda Shokai management. They have ended the business relations since they have Greco golden time. There are still many rumors that Crafted in Japan marked are not assembled in Japan. The Japanese users said, all wooden works are done out side of Japan, Tokai or Dynajust assemble them I think it just rumors. To think about the production process,if Fender Japan done so, they had better assemble all in China or Indonesia. They should think about the cost effectiveness. The freight between Japan and ChinaIndonesia could not allow them to do. I think they are still asking the Japanese Guitar Manufacturers. However, the parts should be came from outside of Japan. Like TunerKorean made, Japanese. MFG license products, other hard ware and Pick Up Mexican made, possibly I have seen many Fender Japan, the wood materials, to compare with vintage and currentat same pricing level, vintage Fender Japan are absolutely better. The end user said JV serial, Fender Japan and Squire are great. The pricing of these JV serial has been vry high. Well, these are early stage of. Think Psychology Baird 2011 Ebook Readers. Fender Japan made by Fujigen. It is exactly same with Greco Stratocaster. I have heard that at the beginning, Fujigen took off Greco logo and put Fender logo. They just change the hardwares which Fender Japan provided. Im not sure this is rumor again Caution Fender Japan MIJ and CIJ Fake Guitars. We have been handling many Fender Japan products. However, recently we could find outmany Fake FJ Guitars. Specially, the early date serial numbers products, we saw many cases. Only neck is original, but the body is cheap ply wood This should be Korean made Squirebody. This body was used early time of Korean made Fender. They just bought the neck andassemble it. It is very tough to find the fake or not. Take off the neck and checkthe neck pocket or PU cavity. It is only way to find out. Many case, the fake guitar has non original PU. It is O. K., If they have indicated it. But in many cases, they didnt indicate and use the Cheap PUs like Korean or China Made.
