I don't get this. Adjust the bridge screws if it's 'buzzing'? A neck shim won't do anything to help this...
Buzzing may be because the break angle over the bridge saddles is insufficient, though?
Most likely the saddle isn’t level against the bridge base. The side/grub screw that’s ‘floating’ will often buzz.

I've got a Mastery on the way (well, ordered) and will try that before I even attempt to shim. I'm a big fan of what the Mastery did on my CIJ Jazzmaster so it was going on regardless. I suspect that alone will do it.

Fender japan comes through again.

I have been saying for the past year since these were announced I’d buy this is it was black.
I hope andertons offers the black one.

Wish they'd put on the proper logo though.

I'd be kicking myself if that were LPB, Sherwood, or OT. But yeah, if the color was putting you off, nice having another option.

I love that the black one has a matching headstock. Painted headstocks just look right on a B&B guitar. That is to say that a plain headstock looks wrong on anything but sunburst (and even then, I think black headstocks look amazing on sunburst guitars).

I just noticed the black one doesn’t come with a case, just a bag. That sucks.

The sunburst one only came with a case in the first run last year. This year's sunburst run is with gig bag....

But the Fender Japan site says the black one is WITH case. Also pretty big price difference between what they cost there and in Europe, considering there is no case for ours.

I didnt realize that, I thought all the bursts came with HSC.

Andertons (great customer service) reached out to fender and got back to me promptly……
Anyway, they can’t order/sell them.
Gonna have to find a source.

Ahh I finally translated the page. It does say with case….
Also says it’s a fender online exclusive.

Isn’t there a service that remails japan stuff to us addresses? Or am I imagining this….. pm me if you don’t want to publicly post it.

I looked into a forwarding service for the black one and I was quoted around $2650, might be better off just getting a sunburst one refinished for that price.

It's got to be shipped 6000 miles (by air) / 13000 nautical miles... that costs money. A lot of money these days.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?
