MIJ SUPPLEMENTAL #2: New Serial Prefix Info! 

This is interesting info. But one minor correction. That is not a hang tag. It is a warranty slip. It would never hang in a shop with the actual instrument as it is needed for any repairs or returns.

It's really great you guys are doing this series of videos on the mij instruments, informative and to the point. It shows genuine interest and knowledge. Keep them coming! Edit: it would even be better if your prices in Reverb where not so out of reality and overinflated.

This series has been extremely helpful! Just last month I watched the original MIJ video and the follow-up, and the week after I walked into the Woodinville Value Village only to see a glorious barely-played MIJ Squier strat! I couldn’t believe it, but it’s all-original and the plastic has perfectly faded to contrast the Arctic White finish. Thanks fellas 👍🏻

That registration form would have been filled out at the time of sale, not when the guitar was built or put up for sale, so no proof of build date.

Props on the SW Goo mashup shirt, Mike. Have the same one, literally my favorite shirt.

I have a 90's CIJ stamped JM66, and it is lovely. Really enjoying all the weirdness from Fender Japan, in only adds to the... mystique. I would be interested to know why they chose to fake it with the pickups, it seems like more trouble than it's worth

Can't un-see the body section with darker wood.

thanks for the great information...i always like the Mike&Mike descriptions on the guitars you have for sale....the best.

What about Squier MIJ JVserial?

The MIJ myth is straight up BS plain and simple I only buy and play MIA and MIM Fenders the real deals..
