Fujigen also made Fender Japanese Strats and I believe the Robben Ford models. Hoshino has had a very close relationship with Fujigen Gakki manufacturing company for many decades, but Fuji is a separate entity.Īt various periods of time, Fujigen has/does make other brands. ![]() It's owned by Hoshino (Gakki and USA) companies which distributes guitars around the world. One important thing to remember is that Ibanez is only a brand name. If it has maxon pups, that would indicate it has Humbuckers rather than sinle coils. The one listed above looks more like a Matsumoku make judging by the headstock, truss rod cover, and the neck plate. Even Hosino bought models from other factories and branded them as Ibanez. Cimar-brand guitars are considered as "cheaper" variants.įox, that's true, nearly all these brand names sold models from Fujigen under their brand, but most were not directly affiliated with Fujigen. This does not mean, that some "brands" listed above are built to the very same specs as Ibanez, eg. Penco, Elger, Univox, IBZ? for the US Market Jason, Cimar, Morris, Kasuga, Axiom, Electa for the Australian Market Isonez, Kasuga, Luxor, Halifax, Cimar, Maya, Morris, Global, Sekova, Polaris for European Market RELATED TRADEMARKS - IBANEZ (Hoshino Co.Japan) Hmm.on the other hand, the info I have shows that Penco is really a Hoshino Group trademark, and was used in the US market region. Well, it's not an Ibanez, and I would also think that it is ex Matsumoku rather than Hoshino/Fujigen.ĭid Ibanez ever make guitars under a different name? Or all the ones to come out of Fujigen have the Ibanez logo? Thanks. What do you all think of this guitar? Is it a good copy? Thanks.
