@@Driftuner have you played an epiphone in the last couple years ? I was always down on epiphone but the last two I’ve tried have been pretty awesome.

I’m an Ibanez guy and agree that I’ve never played a bad Fujigen built guitar and in fact prefer the Japanese fenders, but I have to admit epiphone is building some nice guitars wherever they are made now.

Love my FGN MSA-HP-C (Masterfield Semi Acoustic - Humbucking Pickups - Custom). You guys should definitely do another video on the rest of the FGN range when you have them in stock, especially the Masterfield series. The MSA models look like a 335 but are 15 inches wide instead of 16, so they sit right between the larger ES-335 and the smaller ES-339. Super comfortable to play, and they sound fantastic.

I believe FGN guitars will be crazy expensive when they reach the popularity of Fender, Gibson, ESP and so on. They sell high quality "Made in Japan" guitars in the same price range with Indonesian/Chinese built of the sub-brands. So it would be a great investment for the future. I'm seriously thinking to replace all my Korean built LTDs, Schecters, Mexican Fender with FGN guitars.

my local store is a distributor for FGN and I like their pickups a lot. they actually put their own in house pickups in their top of the range models. the way to approach this is to think of them really as boutique pickup. the name brands we have today all kinda started out as small boutique builders anyway.

@@brandonjackson5865 It's the "Name Brand Tax." And FMIC's pricing strategy when it comes to their version of the Jackson brand. Plus there's a higher profit margin on higher-end Indonesian-made Jacksons, both in terms of manufacturer cost and market volume. You're probably better off trying to score an old MIJ Jackson Pro from the '90s, I've seen them out in the wild for around $600-$800.

They are excellent guitars.

The fretwork is astounding and it plays like buttered butter even though it's rashed and oxidized af otherwise. It's a rock machine. People joke when they say stuff like that but it's no joke and you can vouch. A lot of guitar; that's 110% accurate. Not for the money, but that's a heck of a nice bonus on top of a unit that is already custom shop quality, fit and finish. I have been letting go of instruments worth 3x this one because I just don't need them now. I'm scared to buy another because what if I just got lucky with this one? This could be a unicorn.

I tried an old, I’m sure laminate Aria 12 string from probably the 70s in a shop. I picked up several acoustic guitars that day everything from 1500 -2000 Martins and Taylors on down to Sea Gull, Gretsch and Recording Kings and that old Aria was the best playing and sounding guitar in the shop. I was impressed with how straight the neck was and it had pretty low action to. They were asking 300 for it, it was a lower end model and they were asking about 100 more than what they had been selling for. Maybe it was an extremely good example, but you could tell it had been played. Anyway I told the guy working in the shop that old Aria is the best guitar you got in the shop for the money. He kinda nodded and rolled his eyes at me. They are a shop that specializes in acoustic guitars and they have a room full of new Martins and Taylors and then a room with the more affordable beginner and intermediate stuff. They are kinda guitar snobs I guess. I’ve always loved the old 70s MIJ stuff before it was trendy to those old Yamahas are giant slayers. I’ve always wanted a 12 string but I’ve never pulled the trigger on one. I wish I’d made an offer on that old Aria though it was seriously impressive. Now everyone is coming around to the old Japanese guitars and they are probably still better than anything you can buy new for 600 or so but the days of scooping them up for a couple hundred bucks is over I’m afraid.

Honestly, I can pick a fault on either of those instruments. To me, they are both perfect. The set up out the factory on the Ibanez was the best I've ever felt. That Ibanez was the best guitar I'd played by far until I picked up the 89 Strat. That is a work of art. There's something magic that goes on behind closed doors at Fujigen, I can't explain it otherwise.

My blue flower Fender Telecaster was made in the Fuji factory (“Crafted in Japan”/CiJ) and is built as solidly as you could ever want. It also has a great tone, even just strummed acoustically, and a neck that just asks you to (try to) play faster. If these are made and play half as well, I could well be tempted…hmmm, new S-Type maybe 🤔 😂😊

When I was a kid - many moons ago - the expression "Made in Japan" was often used to describe cheaply (poorly) made goods. That perception began to change when Toyota and Honda beat the American car manufacturers with high quality and reliable autos at reasonable prices. I visited Japan 20 years ago - everything they do is high quality - it's in their DNA.

Fun fact. The “G" in Fujigen sounds like the G in ‘Gust’ not ‘Generator.’

Based on the fact that I have two of the mid-1980s Fuji gen Squier strats I would say these are likely great guitars and they certainly look and sound like it from the video.

and Epiphone Elitist: In 2002, Epiphone began producing a range of higher quality instruments under the "Elite Series" moniker which were built by Terada and FujiGen in Japan. After legal action by Ovation the name was changed to Elitist in 2003. As of 2008, all of the Elitist models have been discontinued with the exception of the Elitist Casino and the Dwight Trash Casino. The Epiphone Elitist guitars included features such as higher grade woods, bone nuts, hand-rubbed finishes, "Made in the USA" pickups and USA strings. Japanese domestic market Elitists used the Gibson Dove-wing headstock as opposed to the "tombstone" headstock used on exports.

I had my Iliad JIL2CLASHM (the T-style in candy apple red) delivered today. It's unbelievably good. I have tried many T-style guitars, Fender included, and the only one that I could compare with the FGN is the American Original 60s. It sounds like a Tele should, but with modern playability and the extra in-series position. Plus, it's really light

@benjimontgomery9826 11 месяцев назад
@@Jake24378 a bit chunky, thicker than the "modern C" by Fender, in fact is described by FGN as a "D shape" (it has more "shoulder"). not a shredder neck, especially if you have small hands like I do. But I got used to it very quickly, maybe because it's really smooth on the edges

I'll be ordering one soon! I had a MIJ Fender "Japanese" Jazz bass from the 80's. It was a Ruby micro Flake... I sold it and have regretted it for years. Nothing has played Close. But I'm not a bassist and bought it because of how great it was. Every Band I was in the Bassist always used it because they couldn't believe how great it was... Also going to order a Vox Clubman 60 when those release. I live in the states but so many companies here are getting destroyed by corporations... I'll gladly order from across the pond to keep an indie shop going. 15:09 Pete fell in love pahaha...

Some interesting looking guitars! I think my favourite were the Tele style models, they had a really nice snappy sound to them. Most of the stuff I play isn't usually associated with a Tele style guitar but if it sounds right then it sounds right! I think the first Japanese built guitar I may end up getting at some point soon will be made by FujiGen. I have my eye on an Ibanez Prestige 7 string, H S S configuration with Seymour Duncans and a Gotoh trem. Can't recall the exact model number as Ibanez don't exactly make them memorable! As far as I'm aware the Prestiges are made by FujiGen. ~£1500 is a lot of money for a guitar but I think I'll get a lot out of that mix of specs in combination with the Japanese quality. I have also seen a second hand ESP Snapper Burner in my local area for about £1700 which is roughly half the new price. That is in the top tier of Japanese models though, and whilst it looks absolutely beautiful and very tempting I don't really think I'm worthy of such an instrument yet, having only been playing a couple of years. This Snapper I've seen is a slightly older spec with ESP's own pickups (H S S), they clearly prefer not to use their own pickups in the Original Series anymore as the Snapper Burner was the last Snapper model on their website showing ESP pickups but its recently been updated to Seymour Duncans like all the others. Would be interesting to know why they've made that choice, whether they think the Duncans sound better, or if it's more about brand recognition. You can still get ESP pickups on custom shop orders, these being the proper Japanese made ESP pickups not the cheap imported pickups they brand with their own name for the cheaper LTD models. So seeing ESP going all Seymour Duncan on their Original Series Snappers (Original Series being custom shop quality, just pre-configured models) it's interesting that FujiGen are using both a mix of Seymour Duncans and their own pickups in the models showcased here. Even the highest end of these FGN models shown by Anderton's has their own pickups so they must be pretty decent. ESP don't seem to do any classic style Strat or Tele type models in their mid-range priced Japanese line, the E-II - they have more contemporary specs like double humbuckers and Floyd Roses, not more vintage style trems. So it's cool that we have these options from FGN and Ibanez Prestige to get those kinds of styles without having to step up to the really high prices of full-fat ESPs, as desirable as they are.

Years ago, I had a Fender Heartfield Talon, pretty much an Ibanez RG style with a stupid thin neck that was so comfortable. It was made in 1991 at the Fujigen Factory, at the time I had no clue what it was. Bought it for $60 at a flea market, wish I hadn't sold it.
