Fender C.I.J Vintage Series '62 Reissue Stratocaster. "Lake Placid Blue" - SoldC. I. J or Crafted in Japan, Guitars from this Series are Fender Japan's equivalent of the American Vintage series. It is difficult to tell the difference with these guitars, apart from the most obvious difference, the price! They are both based on a 1962 Strat and of course the specs are very similar. To my mind these are a better instrument than the American Series Guitars, based on the fact that this guitar has the Vintage "Kluson" Style Tuners and
