Was checking out Fender Japan's website and saw quite a few Telecasters that interested me, including the paisley and floral Teles and lots of natural ash finish ones.

http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/fender/200 ... caster.htm

What I was wondering is does anyone know a place to obtain these new in the US? Not on eBay, but actually new as in a store or online company?

Thanks!

Martin

Just ask your dealer.

My guitar shop was not selling MIJ Fender until I ask them to order one for me. Now they prefer the MIJ because there's more choice of model and they are less expensive than MIM and some MIUSA. The Jaguar or the Jazzmaster are a good example: SAME thing but stamped MIJ on the neck... The quality is quite similar to the MIUSA to me.

Mine was the Telecaster Custom in white. There's some differences sometime. Example: my Custom doesn't have a micro tilt adjustment like MIM model and the tuners are not the same.

My dealer told me that every guitar shop might be able to order MIJ Fender. If not... try ebay, some guys are selling them brand new.

Thanks Tomyyy.

Most of the dealers I talked to here in Houston scratched their heads, said they weren't aware that Fender Japan had so many different ones and were basically noncommital about trying to order one.
