Made in Japan Modern Series

Cover - MIJ Modern Series

Launched in 2019, Fender Japan’s Made in Japan Modern Series reimagined classic Fender designs for contemporary players. Blending tradition with innovation, the lineup included Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, and Jazz Bass models, all featuring sleek, aerodynamic curves inspired by sports cars. The series embraced Fender’s “Fly Beyond” motto, symbolizing progress in tone, versatility, and craftsmanship. Highlights included compound-radius necks, asymmetrical heels, and locking tuners for modern playability. HH models with Modern Modified Humbuckers delivered a powerful, focused tone, while HSS and SSS versions offered noiseless classic sounds. The result was a fusion of elegance, comfort, and cutting-edge design—distinctly modern yet unmistakably Fender.
