I am interested in purchasing a Fender Jaguar that's CIJ. The only thing is I have no clue how to go about ordering this guitar from Japan and wanted to ask you first before I end up doing since it is going to be a pretty expensive buy for me.
Also correct me if I'm wrong but the only way to get this Fender Jaguar is if it's CIJ therefore I will need to order it from Japan? I see that regular Fender.com site only lists American Vintage, HH and Baritone.
Can someone who knows what they are doing shed some light for me please?

I thought I would bump this since it's rather important for me to order this before December 28.

If you want a standard CIJ model you would be better off looking on ebay.
They are common in europe which means it is easier than purchasing from Japan. There are plenty of UK suppliers if you particularly want new.

Yes. Where you from? CIJ Jaguars are common in europe, much easier to purchase than an AVRI or AV model.

I live in the United States, the American Vintage is a little expensive for my taste, and I heard the HH isn't very similar to the original Jaguar and was told that the CIJ is a lot closer to the original. Ebay really doesn't have much when it comes to the CIJ Jaguar and either way I was looking for new.
What was that you said about the UK dealers though?

ishibashi is a very good site for buying japanese guitars. their pages can be translated into english. i have e-mailed them and they are very helpful and their english is good. shipping in costly but the base prices of the guitars are reasonable and i think they will do discounts sometimes. it's worth checking out.

Yeah that's what I was thinking I was probably going to do.
Do you think I should just email them and tell them I'm interested in a particular guitar model and see what they have to say about shipping and whatnot?

The easiest thing to do is to get your local guitar store to order one for you. I don't trust ebay with all the fakes being sold.

Good luck and rock on!

I have actually gotten in contact with Ishibashi Web Shop and recieved and email from them which said they would ship the Fender Jaguar to me once I've filled out there payments form. I'm pretty sure they're safe to deal with, I just need to figure out how much shipping and customs will cost.
Is this a good way to do it? Or should I have it shipped to a guitar store or something?
