#ARIA BACKAROO SERIAL NUMBER#

Others say 'crafted' had a nicer ring to it than 'made', and so the word change was all about marketing and preception, this seems to make solid sense.

Some say this was due to a contract clause with FujiGen that ONLY allowed their plant to stamp 'MADE IN JAPAN' on a Fender, which seems unlikely. began making some guitars for Fender, these were the first guitars listed as 'CRAFTED IN JAPAN'. '' 1992: (yes, there is some overlap here) The Dyna Gakki Corp. The other thing about this one is the bridge plate.My 2004 CIJ had a sort of cheap looking Fender bridge plate.this one is very robust, seems like better steel, and slightly shorter than the 94 plate.īridge pickup is non staggered also.dont know what that means in dating.Īlso, the finish doesn't seem like a 2000's finish.especially on the neck-fretboard.that stained amber thing seemed to have dissipated by then.įrom the WSG website article on MIJ vs CIJ

I did notice the double hit on the serial number search.MIJ and CIJ I have a couple of P10r speakers from the late 90's and this guitar (in it's 500k brightness) sounds freakin great through one of these.cant say enough about the grin i get hearing it.Īnd a note.is there anyone making accurate P10R speaks these days?Īnd/or is there a 12 inch version that doesn't lose the magic?.

Guitar is in excellent condition.better than i expected.tuning heads are very tight and the thing holds tune very well. Guitar has flatwounds installed.first time I've ever played them.I like/love them but they sounded downright silly with a treble bleed on a Telecaster circuit with a 500K tone pot.2 steel strings jumping way out front.i desoldered the treble bleed and now have more control over things.not sure im gonna take out that 500k pot.we'll see Also,Electronics seem stock except for a 500k tone pot (both dime sized pots).does not sound bad this way (still might go to a 250k tone pot) after I de-soldered the treble bleed and regained control of the unit via Volume pot.im not a fan of treble bleeds.especially single chiclet deals
