Fender Japan Export Guitars The Collectables

In the 1992 western catalogues and there appears a section on reissues later styled collectables, spelled that way. These are in fact MIJ Export models. Reissues is not usually a term applied by Fender to MIJ guitars but this is the exception.
There were several Strats and Teles as follows

60s and 68 Stratocasters both on the other 60s style page Here 60s
72 Stratocaster

Fender Japan Collectables Telecaster Custom

2 models again a 62 Telecaster Custom (with left handed Option) and a 72 Telecaster Custom. Note that custom in the early days just meant binding whereas later it came to mean different pickup configuration. So the 62 is just a bound telecaster the 72 has different pickups. The 62 appeared in 1991 and lasted until the MIMs in 1999 whilst the 72 was launched in 1995 also until 1999.

Rosewood Telecaster launched in 1994 and discontinued in 1996 a Rosewood body and neck on a 70s style Tele described as a Rosewood body although these often had other woods in them to avoid serious weight problems. Again see TL69 page
