I saw these guitars here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KTKOSCM?psc=1
I can only find them on Amazon and Ebay...which is strange

Anyone ever play these? or know how they compare to an American?

I used to own a American Special and sold it, I regretted selling it and thought about getting another Special...but then I cam across this model and am very intrigued...

How would this compare to the American Special?

Most likely one of many models Fender Japan makes for domestic market only.
TN-SPL Japan

Can't say anything about this particular guitar or the TN model series (Thinlines just aren't for me - sorry...), but in general MIJ Fenders are very good instruments.

Man japan makes some nice guitars. I imagine she sounds great but haven't played one myself.

Ok, to see that little baby on amazon is quite strange, but why not?? And not all Japan guitars are bad!! There are good and bad ones. Do you have the possebility to send it back, if you don't like it?

The specs are in the link of my previous post, above 8)
IMHO 900 bucks for a MIJ is a bit on the high side, but then again what do I know about Thinline values, I'm a fool for solids :wink:
