I would love to see some pictures and ads on eldegas strats.thanks KaviRay Pitviper Username: Pitviper Registered: 08-2005 Posted on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 - 1:59 pm:    I use Japanese necks with American body's and electronics.

In the UK we had a brand called Antoria - many of them were identical to Ibanez models, right down to sharing the same catalogue numbers. Fuji Gen built guitars for a vast range of different brands - including the MIJ Fenders and Squiers. Jon.
