Were Japanese Fenders ever imported to the US in quantity? All I've seen is individual sales.


I believe most of the Fenders made between 1985 and early 1987 were Japanese because the sale of Fender by CBS to Fender's management didn't include the factory.

Yes Fender had opened a factory in Mexico in 1987 but it was only making amps and cabinets which started to appear in 1989. They did not start making or releasing MIM guitars till 1991. Please refer to the book "50 years of Fender' by Tony Bacon" on page 100 (Chapter called 1991 - Down Mexico way) pulished by Balafon Books 2000.


Excellent: I have that book - unfortunately 200 miles from where I am at this moment. I'll look it up when I get home.

Thank you!

I *knew* there was a reason why I should keep my '91 MIM Strat, even though the wood is about the only thing still original on it. :wink:
