同纠结 我的ST57 也是 CRAFTED IN JAPAN 查下来也是N年前的产物 FUGEN货 但是我有看到老外对 CRAFTED IN JAPAN 和 MADE IN JAPAN 的区别写了些评论

If your interest in Fender Japan guitars has led you to ask that question... hopefully this guide will help.

And it's just a matter of time till you have your answer.    ;)

The bottom line is:  MADE in Japan = older... CRAFTED in Japan = newer.  It's that simple.  I'll explain with a short bit of history.  Please:  Do your own research (readily available on the web), to verify:

Without bogging you down in every tiny detail...

Fender began making guitars in Japan in 1982.  At that time, ALL Fenders were marked *MADE* In Japan (with a few unmarked exceptions, which I may post another guide detailing).  Up till 1997, that's the way ALL Fenders manufactured in Japan were marked:  MADE In Japan.

At some point a decision was made by Fender, for whatever their reason(s), to change this to CRAFTED In Japan.  And, in 1997 Fender began using the Crafted In Japan marking.  During that year - it is my understanding - guitars were marked both "Made" and "Crafted" In Japan.  In 1998 and since, all Fenders manufactured in Japan have been marked "Crafted" In Japan.

So, it's just a matter of time.  No magical formula to decipher or understand.  No secrets to remember.

A quick visit to fender.com - and a tiny bit of curiosity - will verify.  Go there and work your way to the Japan Serial Numbers page.  You'll notice the first batch of numbers are "Made" In Japan numbers, while the second batch (at the bottom of the page) are "Crafted" In Japan numbers.  Take a good look at *the dating*... you'll see for yourself:

Made In Japan = older...     Crafted In Japan = newer

It's just a matter of time.  It's that simple.

所以也吃不准到底 哪个是权威

还有 楼主 这个可能能给你些帮助

1982: Fender Japan starts production with FujiGen Gakki having the manufacturing contract. The "Made in Japan" (MIJ) logo is used.
1984: CBS sells Fender to its current owners and while waiting for a new USA factory to begin production, Fender Japan models and leftover USA stock were mostly sold in the USA for a few years.
1992: The first "Crafted in Japan" (CIJ) models start appearing due to Dyna Gakki taking over some of the manufacturing while FujiGen Gakki were expanding their operations.
1996/1997: "Crafted in Japan" (CIJ) is used instead of "Made in Japan" (MIJ) because Tōkai and Dyna Gakki take over the manufacturing contract from FujiGen Gakki.

也就是说 官方表明 92年前的都是MIJ  美国研发FUJIGEN 弘冈制造的FENDER 返销美国
92年第一支由FUJIGEN研发 DYNA代工制造的 为CIJ 此批内销日本
96-97年开始 所有MIJ和CIJ都统称CIJ 销往指定国家和提供本国自身需求

关于呢些编号为什么会发生N久年后才买到 根据国外网站论坛分析下来 应该是 FUJIGEN先设计和研发 并且安排批量生产的型号及编号  由其他厂家类似DYNA  YAMANO或者KANDA SHOKAI 来生产 代工 并且经销 其中由于材料原料的高要求与分配 可能会拖上几年甚至更久 按照ISHIBASHI的说法 FENDER JAPAN的每根木头都是经过严格挑选的 至于是不是真的 这就要看各位的自己判断了！！
