Came across this article while trawling for gear news. Fender fans here, in this country, could not really relate to this because we've been getting Japanese Fenders all along in the shops here. Even when the manufacturer indicated an online exclusive tag for certain models, we would eventually see them for sale in the shops. We are considered fortunate, really because these guitars, being import models in the USA (& elsewhere) would manifest quite a sum when it comes to import charges.
Japanese Fenders are long considered restricted products in the USA due to its rival QC Standards-to-price considerations; why buy an American Fender when you can get a Japanese one with equivalent / better standards for less money? So these guitars, now being allowed into the USA market, surely, would trigger higher demand in time to come. Simple economics would tell us that prices would go up. Meaning - the ones available here would be subjected to such price revisions. So that's an overview of the matter in case we get too thrilled by the fact that Japanese Fenders are gonna be made readily available everywhere soon.
