"Everybody came up to inspect them and the guys almost cried, because the Japanese product was so good - it was what we had been having a hell of a time trying to do."

Thats what I have read. That the U.S. People did not no how they could compete with the made in Japan models because of there high quality. Also I believe the original idea was to have Tokia build there guitar first.
Plus the Squier name come from a company that made strings if I am remembering correctly and Fender bought the name rights.

You are right there Tokia has made some fine guitars over the years. And also many of the Fuji Gen made Fender guitars have necks that where made by Atlansia not FujiGen.

Just went looking for a good one. The only one on ebay uk that is of sure origin is selling up for sale at £1100. :shock: Didnt think they were fetching that much. Its just a bit under what i paid for my hotrod.

I like my MIA because its better than my MIJ. But my MIJ is better than my MIM, which is better than my MIA.

I know all this to be true because I like them. I like them because they are better. I also know they are better because I like them.

Understand??

Yours cant be better (bigger???) than mine, because mine is mine and, as I've already determined, I like it.

Because I like mine better than yours, or even better than you like yours, mine must be better, despite that mine is both an MIA and an MIJ and an MIM and and MOA simultaniously.

So, you see. You are wrong and I am right.



By far and away the funniest thing I've seen all week! :lol: :lol:

I have a MIM Strat and a MIJ '51 P-Bass. Love them both. Your best bet will be for you to try out several different makes and decide for yourself. Our opinions don't really matter. The decision is yours.

Those Old Tokia guitars fetch some big money. Check these new ones on close out over here on this side of the Pond.
