Fender Japan Custom Edition

　The Craft Section and Custom Edition Team, which have been expanding the possibilities of Fender Japan across various fields through the development of carefully selected woods, special finishes, and high-quality hardware, are responsible for these models. As this team originated from the Craft Section of EXTRAD, it is believed to have been active from 1986 to 1997, until Fender Japan’s manufacturing operations were transferred from Fujigen to Dyna Gakki.

　They have produced a wide range of models, from vintage-style guitars to those with unique specifications, including anniversary models.
