What is the difference between a guitar the is "made in Japan" vs. one that is "crafted in Japan"? I just bought one used that is CIJ and looks to be a 60's re-issue. I know nothing about these guitars, and any help is appreciated. Thanks!

hi,

From what I know the different between MIJ and CIJ is the year it made. You can refer to this site. I got my info at this site before I decided to purchased my own CIJ Fender.

I thought I heard that the change from "Made in" to "Crafted in" went along with a change in the factory in Japan that Fender used .... from Fuji Gen Gakki to ??? whatever it was. I believe that Tokai is the current maker, but I'm not sure if there was another in between.

Who knows?

Thanks for the replies. I really like the guitar, and once I get the frets cleaned up, will be one of my top players :lol:
