[quote name='LukeFRC' post='535178' date='Jul 7 2009, 09:57 PM']you're talking about Uk companies that import MIJ/CIJ fenders into the UK, The question is more about why Fender the company try and keep most japanese made stuff inside Japan.
EDIT: that seems a bit dismissive and rude. sorry, wasnt meant to be
I've had two jap fender basses. A CIJ '57 RI and my '82 JV Squier. Both better than anything Ive played in any of the shops round here from the MIA/MIM ranges..[/quote]
Yeah got that. It was just something recent that really annoyed me. I've been playing MIJ Fender for 20yrs and was just a little disheartened with the poor service. Back to the real matter at hands people!
