I have a ´86 ´68 reissue blue flower telecaster.
I´ve heard taht the japanese fenders in the 80´s and 90´s are just as good as the 70´s and 2000+ USA fenders and far above the 80´s and 90´s USA fenders in quality.
I have two 90’s Japanese Jazzmasters and they are both really lovely to play.
I have a 94 which has a really nice chunky neck and a 98 which has a much thinner neck. Both sound really nice, very comparable to all the USA Fender’s I’ve played.
