Fender Japan's E-serial guitars have earned high praise both domestically and internationally, making them highly sought-after by collectors worldwide. What kind of guitars were they?

In the late 1970s, every young guitarist dreamed of owning a semi-acoustic guitar like the Gibson ES-335. Yamaha introduced the SA series to the world in 1977.
