These models were part of Fender Japan’s exclusive domestic lineup, which included special colors (like Daphne Blue), upgraded electronics, or alternate tonewoods.

Low-end note The ’62 Jazz Bass is the cornerstone of the FujiGen legacy. Learn more about the craftsmanship and the specific suffixes (like -US and -VSP) in the Field guide to Fender Japan.
