Welcome to the first episode of "MIJ Supplemental," a series in which we'll discuss specific topics related to Japanese guitar production with an eye for detail. In this episode we'd like to compare and contrast two early Jaguars: a 1980 Greco and a 1986 Fender. Both are excellent guitars, but each exhibits interesting an unique features that help tell the story of Fender Japan.

I am absurdly passionate about the Fugigen guitars, so therefore am in heaven right now

Hey! That’s my Jag! Glad i stumbled on this video, especially seeing the details on my own instrument!

These educational (but super fun) videos are so interesting to Japanese guitar lovers like me. You not only have the best selection of MIJ Fender, Greco, and Tokai guitars, you actually take the time to explain the history and nuances. Can't thank you enough. Domo Arigato 🙏

I have an Olympic white jag from 86 and this is the first time I have seen someone with a jag from that run! A thing that I learned in researching my Jag all those years ago was the speculation that they were assembled using leftover parts from Fender America which had closed in 84 (?) and all production was moved to Japan, including the remaining stock. My information slightly contradicts the fact that they stopped making Jags in 75. Regardless, I'm stoked to see another first run jag, because I haven't even really found one being sold. I got curious a few years ago what mine might be worth and I'm still not sure, but I know it's looks/sounds/plays cool as hell

Hi, Mike. It's Fuji Gen, pronounced with a hard "g" pronunciation. Not a "j" sound, as in "Fuji Jen". Not trying to be critical, but I lived in Japan for several years. Love the videos! I bought a Greco Frampton LP from you guys s few years ago. Always great service at Mike and Mike's.

Really appreciate the note, and will endeavor to make that correction in the future. You'll have to suffer through a couple more poorly-pronounced videos already recorded to date, but we're on it :)

Both sound wonderful! What pedal(s) were you running?

Thank you! Just a Klon KTR for the opening bit. There's a Guyatone FLIP tube tremolo and Maxon AD80 delay layered on for the tune at the very end.

I can't believe they are still manufacturing or putting those terrible original bridges on anything! The Greco has the great, usable '6 distinct saddles' type bridge. Just for that alone you would buy the Greco.

The brass saddles aren’t bad at all. Easy to set up, comfortable on the hand and seem to add a bit of warmth.
