Hi

I have had this guitar for about 15 years and cant find anything about it online - not the exact model anyway

Does anyone know anything about it - i have attached a link to pictures and serial - I am going to email fender and see if they know anything but thought it may be worth posting here as well?

These were fine guitars made in Japan starting around 1984, don't remember when they stopped making them but seem to remember maybe into early 90s at most.

The following info on these is from "The Fender Book, by Tony Bacon and Paul Day...They were part of the Master Series from Fender Japan and where the first made with the Fender name on it vs the Squire logo! These were also the first set neck guitars made by Fender. The biggest problem with these guitars was that they brought them out then Fuji had some issues with making them and it was a year before they started shipping so they lost a bit of the initiative.

Here is a link with some info on them...

Maybe someone else will come along and fill in some more info on these.

I just googled Fender Master Series and got quite a few good hits...here's the first that comes up....interesting...

I inspected a fair share of these on the guitar line back in the day and always thought they were really nice. 12" radius necks, fairly light. Good stuff.
Cheers,
