Glad to hear that these are pretty solid! I placed an order on one of the oly white Mustangs, can't wait for it to arrive!

awesome! post pics when you get it.

Really curious how these sound, have zero experience with the MIJ Fenders. What should I expect on the scale of my Squier CV and my American Pro?

I've had a few Fender Japan lefties over the years (currently a 2003 Jaguar & 2023 Mustang). I've also owned USA Fenders and currently own a CV Jazzmaster. All great guitars, but for overall quality I'd take a Fender Japan guitar over a USA Fender or CV any day.

With fender Japan using American electrics & pickups since 2018 (?), you’re getting an equal to USA quality. The only difference is MIJ tend to have slimmer necks with gloss poly finish.

I much prefer the Japanese neck shapes, just wish they had satin finish like a USA standard used to have.

If the Jag and JM are anything like my Mustang that I just got from Taniguchi, I'd say there pretty solid. Just got my 60s Mustang a few days ago and I'm loving playing it, so comfortable and fast, built well, full size pots, great neck, Japanese craftsmanship is top notch. Only took 5 days to ship it from Japan to Canada to. Can't recommend Taniguchi enough, this one isn't going anywhere anytime soon!
