Available colors for MIJ '72 thinline RIs?

lgarland · August 12th, 2003, 04:28 PM

What colors were available over the years for '72 reissue thinlines made in Japan? I don't think I've ever seen a sunburst one on Ebay, they all seem to be newer and made in Mexico. I have a wonderful 93/94 MIJ '69 thinline RI and would love to have the pair. So, are there any sunburst MIJ '72 thinlines out there? Thanks.

He has a Sunburst (not my cup of tea) 72Thinline RI, i beleive it is MIM. I have never seen a MIJ sunburst, but the MIM are nearly identical.

Sometimes more colours are available than listed - for example, the 68 RI Strat is list as only available in white, but it's actually also available in 3TS and black. I found this out through an e-mail inquiry, to which they responded quite promptly.

Good luck!

thing is Fender Japan frequently make runs of guitars for chain shops here, so yes there are colos available that are not listed.
