Further negotiations between Fender and Japanese guitar factories took place. This arrangement benefited Fender because it removed the Greco Fender copies from the Japanese market, which were selling in Japan at much lower prices than the American made Fenders and it also benefited Kanda Shokai because Kanda Shokai could then distribute Japanese made Fender branded guitars in Japan. Kanda Shokai owned the Greco brand name and one of the conditions of the Fender Japan agreement was that Kanda Shokai cease production of its own Greco Fender copies. Yamano Gakki was known for once being part of Epiphone Japan.
Fender began negotiations with several Japanese musical instrument distributors and reached an agreement with Yamano Gakki and Kanda Shokai to establish Fender Japan. Tokai was seriously considered to start building the first Japanese made Fenders, but after a breakdown in negotiations, FujiGen Gakki was chosen instead.Fender was also losing sales in Japan to Japanese guitar brands such as Tōkai, Greco and Fernandes and the establishment of Fender Japan would benefit Fender sales in Japan, as well as overseas.

The VM series is marked ' Crafted in India' on the rear of the head stock, and the serial numbers are not stickers, but printed and sealed on the rear of the head stock. Some more recent Squiers, including the Vintage Modified series (serial numbers starting with SH), were introduced in 2007.
#Indonesian fender serial number lookup full
Plug the full serial number into this decoder, after checking the 'Indonesia' block on the bottom left, and see what it tells you sir. EDIT: Scratch that, its actually a Squier serial number, thats why I couldnt find it with Fender serials- IC means its made in Indonesia by Cort, and it was made in 04.Hence during 1985 to 1987, production of Fender guitars was only done in Japan, while USA Fender created a new factory in. The new Fender did not acquire any physical assets of the old company, just the name 'Fender'. The serial numbers do not reflect this change - Fender continued to make instruments using existing serial number schemes.The Japanese MIJ (Made in Japan) Squiers were made by FujiGen up to 1997 and the Japanese CIJ (Crafted in Japan) Squiers were made by Tokai and Dyna from 1997.
