If you are a fan of Fender guitars, you might be interested in the new Fender MIJ International Colour Series Guitars that have arrived at Tom Lee Music Canada. These guitars are a limited edition run of some of the most iconic Fender models, such as the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazz Bass and Precision Bass, in a range of vibrant and exotic colours that were originally introduced in 1981. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at these guitars and what makes them special.
The Fender MIJ International Colour Series Guitars are made in Japan by skilled craftsmen who combine vintage Fender vibe with modern features and quality. The guitars feature basswood bodies, which are lightweight and resonant, and maple or rosewood fingerboards with a 9.5” radius and medium jumbo frets for smooth playability. The necks have a ‘70s “U” shape profile that is comfortable and familiar, and they also have some unique features that are true to the original International Colour Series, such as the “Bullet” style truss rod nut, the three-bolt neck plate with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism, the “F” Stamped ™ tuners and the serial number on the headstock face.
The Fender MIJ International Colour Series Guitars also have vintage-style pickups that deliver classic Fender tone and feel. The Stratocaster models have single-coil Strat® pickups with a five-way switch for versatile sounds, and a synchronized tremolo bridge for expressive playing. The Telecaster models have single-coil Tele® pickups with a three-way switch for twangy and bright tones, and a string-through-body bridge for enhanced sustain. The Jazz Bass models have single-coil Jazz Bass® pickups with individual volume controls and a master tone control for smooth and punchy sounds, and a four-saddle bridge with single groove saddles for accurate intonation. The Precision Bass models have split single-coil Precision Bass® pickups with a master volume and tone control for powerful and warm sounds, and a four-saddle bridge with single groove saddles as well.
But what really sets the Fender MIJ International Colour Series Guitars apart from other Fender models is their stunning colour scheme. These guitars come in five different colours that are named after exotic and provocative spots on the map: Sahara Taupe, Monaco Yellow, Maui Blue, Morocco Red and Montego Black. These colours are rare and coveted by collectors, as they were only produced for less than one year in 1981. They are also eye-catching and captivating, as they contrast beautifully with the red accents on the pickguard and the logo.
