the Jap models @ swee lee are the selected ones available in the american market- the reason why there are no ST models & such.
There are 2 types of MIJ guitars from Fender seen in Swee Lee & other shops (eg. G77, Ranking etc).
Those that you can obtain the info from the official website: www.fender.com are for international market.
The ones that you probably find in Ranking Sports are domestically made for the Japanese market that were parallel imported to Singapore.
Which also means that if you are planning to re-sell them in the future, it'll be as easy as the international models as they are not 'officially' recongonized internationally.
But if you are just buying it to play and not to consider it's future value, it's afterall still a good gear to go for.
I was told that Japan Fender (the domestic ones) are just a 'licenced' maker from the real thing. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers.

yes, you're right. these are the very people who handle the Ibanez Prestige models. in any case, the make, fit & fitting are superb...

Hmm.
Is it me or is the tele fast becoming the new strat? LOL nice to see an under-rated guitar getting its dues after so long.

the tele gets limited exposure compared to its strat brother + it gets bogged down in the 'country' genre too much...
tele gives me the impression of being very old... but then if you look at some rock bands... i can't think of many right now but i know stone sour uses a tele... almost the entire band used teles during their recent single(i think)... it's been around way longer than strats right?

Try EQing away that honk inherent on the Tele. U'll be surprised at the results. Sounds jus like a strat.
