Bud Cole, Fender's President for the Asia Pacific region, takes us inside the company's first ever 'flagship' store, launched in Tokyo.
The store boasts four levels of Fender goodness, from merch to custom shop and all points in between.
Bud also explains Fender Japan's unique position in the organisation's picture and how this allows autonomy in creating the super cool instruments MIJ Fenders are known for.
