But I do kinda know what you mean :)

I'll go halves with you then? I don't like the look of the body- looks like the top of a cheap desk (with pickups on)!

the japanese fenders are super awesome. more interesting finishes on their mustang and jaguar models than you can shake a stick at.

but the thing is why japan gets such cool stuff - is it a massive market for the electric guitar, the wild japanese tastes, or that they are high-quality guitar producers themselves

Probably all of the above.  But it is interesting that there are so many Japanese-market-only models.  Quite a few of them would sell internationally, I think, and wouldn't infringe any Fender or Gibson trademarks.
