wateroftyne Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hey gang A pal of mine has just picked up gorgeous CIJ Tele bass...strangely, it's gold, like Geddy's '68. I've had a mooch about, and I can't find another one like it. Anyone know anything about them..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've seen that before but didn't pay it too much attention as I'd talk myself into buying something I don't need. It looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Aye... it's a bit of a mystery, this one. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) They did a short run of these in the mid 90's Michael. Fairly sure nearly all of them stayed in the Far East. I've come across references to them, think it was on TB or the Fender Japan forum. EDIT. More info available on the Strats and Tele's with the thought the were commissioned by a Japanese retailer http://www.strat-talk.com/threads/mij-paisley-gold-stratocaster.247973/ Edited August 24, 2016 by karlfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Very rare These are usually light as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobVbass Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes I've seen a few of these over the years - I have the normal pink one - I've also seen a silver one as well and a black one. If it's anything like mine it'll be a great bass - sod to set up though with thin frets but fab when done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
