I think it would have to be a really rainy day for me to move mine on.
I have certainly been impressed with the quality in finish and fittings given they have stood the test of time.
I had to do some work on the Straycat, but nothing significant. the intonation was out, the action was out and the neck needed some relief. but once that was done in conjunction with a new set of strings, the guitar purred.
I see more and more Made in Japan Fenders for sale in Australia and they are at prices that sit in-between the Mexican and US makes. I'm not sure if thats over or under price wise, but i would say they are worth it. I'm just waiting for the right one at the right price before i invest in one but it is on my wish list.

Where in Australia do you mean that you've been seeing these for sale? In the shops or Ebay or Gumtree? I sort of keep my eye out for them, but haven't seen too many for sale in SA (although I just saw a Fender bass on Gumtree that I was tempted to buy).

Hi Craig,
No. There were some made in the Fujigen factory from about 1998 on but none for a few years. The MIJ was the original G&L Tribute Series, later called G&L Premium Series.
Same stuff covered on GbL ages ago.
Thanks, Craig.
