In what context? Can you give an example?

In what context? Can you give an example?

The guitar type says "Fender ST62 - 105 DMC" ... it's a 3tone sb Strat ... MIJ ... lacquer finish

Can it be possible that it has got a " ?? Mid Circuit" ???

Cheers

Sorry, I don't recall ever seeing that. And I look at a lot of eBay Strat adverts!

Nice!! :wink:

 

[sneakyjapan]

only the top end from the DiMarzio series have the lacquer finsh, 2 piece bodies and US electronics...other lower priced models from that line do not.

 

[tudor]

Thanks, sneaky, for the additional info ... :lol: :lol:

Roger

BTW - is it Fender's answer on the Edwards' Super Real series with the Duncans inside ???

 

[sneakyjapan]

might be... but FJ has built some real nice high quality guitars before for chain shops.

 

[tudor]

Do you know which models they are ... lacquer, ash bodies perhaps, rose fretboard ... ????

Roger

 

[sneakyjapan]

depends...most are shop orders, I know them when they show up on the Japanese web.

Have a look at this page

You'll need to a translation tool.

You're right Dave.

I have one of those Fenders CIJ ST62-105DMC.

It sure gives the Fender custom shop guitars a run for their money. Flawless build quality.... I mean perfect... 2 piece alder body.. nitro finish.. and the DiMarzio Classic Vintage pickups aren?t bad at all.. very low action neck with no buzzing.... for 800 euros including shipping and customs, it was almost a steal.

Hmmm, sounds good. Are they all nitro, or do they have a poly undercoat like the newer US reissues?

 

[JohnA]

Poly undercoat, but having owned an oldish US reissue, and a JV85 both with poly undercoat they do age beautifully, and soundwise I defy anyone to be able to hear the difference.

I've never understood why Fender Japan guitars are so hard to find. They don't feature at all on the Fender UK website, and only a few dealers seem to stock them
