The "Made in Japan" designation returned in 2008. There have been posts on this Forum about it (and about the impending confusion with serial number being used over), but since the change in Forum software, it is really hard to search for those older threads.

A quick google search lead me to one blog where the guy claimed that 1) if the words made in Japan were in all caps or were in italics, those were "old" MIJs, but 2) if the words were in a mix of caps and lower case (non-italics), those were "new" MIJs. Your guitar disproves that claim, obviously, because your "MADE IN JAPAN" is in all caps.

Usually, the parts on Japanese guitars don't have dates ... that's frustrating. So if the serial numbers are ambiguous, we'll have problems.
