The stuff Fender sells in Japan that they don't here...

Yeah, a ton of rad stuff. That goes for all of the Japanese builders really.

Not hard to get though, if you're willing to pony up the $120-150 to ship it here.
 
Yeah, I love most of the unique Fender Japan stuff. This one is my favorite:

They used to have some cooler burst finishes, but I still like it a lot.
 
They have had awesome Japan only guitars for as long as the internet has existed. I've come close to trying to buy some of these from Japan over the years. They have crazy modern stuff, and also some copies of vintage spec fenders you have to go to the custom shop to see in the US. The Fenders from Japan I have played have been really nice, and in the dark era of fender, they were far better than their US counterparts.

I also dig some of the 'custom' artist models they have had over the years. Cool looking takes on Fender for artists from Japan that are unknown in the US. Cool way to get some custom features and a cool finish without playing a recognizable signature model.
 
This is the model that speaks to me. Yes, that is a color shift two-tone metallic green/burgundy finish, and yes, that is a painted fretboard. WANT.

Yep. There is some really cool CIJ stuff out there. My old CIJ '66 Reissue Jaguar, was one of the nicest guitars I've owned (I never would have sold it, if I hadn't run out of money at the time :( ), ditto for the Thinline Jaguar.
