Are the japanese Jackson guitars discontinued in Europe?

[CowboyFromHell]

Strange, since Chushin is still shipping guitars to Jackson...

Could be shipping out guitars that were finished already or salvaged and finished in another facility. It's just a guess and honestly we don't have official confirmation of the closing yet.

[DM010]

I wasnt able to find any info on this, do you happen to have any details or links? If this is true, this is truly terrible news. Chushin made some of the best guitars in the world outside of the USA, it would be a damn shame to see them go out of business.

I couldn't find any english page but can post japanese page.
This page said they did stop business 12/5 ,2011.

Instrument manufacturer founded the company in May 1948. Engaged in the manufacture of electric guitar, mainly as a business and brand OEM supply to the United States, had previously recorded sales of over $ 900 million. However, during the period from July 2010 as Lehman fell up to 0.4 billion yen in sales, then sales have recovered somewhat, apprenticeship in 2011 will be significantly higher in the red circle into the season Even more severe appreciation of the yen led to this situation continued in the red. Is unfortunately only the companies with superior technology. Hope that there is a technology company just took over.

Hmm, i recognized that too. In germany a lot of models (for example DKMG, WRMG, SLSMG, RR5FR, ... ) aren't available anymore or are at least selling off, so some models are/were available at very low prices.
I was hoping that the reason for this could be, that these are going to be replaced by new models.

But something seems strange: Who builds those new Elite-Series models? Aren't they made in japan?

[canadian bacon]

Check out a USD to YEN chart.

Then imagine a manufacturer who 2 years ago got 1,000Y for thier product, but today gets 750Y for that same product (because the price we pay in US dollars stayed about the same). But the manufacturer's costs did not become less, and in fact they have probably risen at the very least with commodity prices. It's difficult for any manufacturer to overcome a one-way change in exchange rate like that.

Conversely, a USA Jackson will have become that much more affordable in Japan now. So they can rock just a little harder now.

Oh, yeah - forgot the point of the thread. Check out the Euro to Yen, or Krona to Yen. Same deal.

[tomanyjacksons]

Damn, I"ll never be able to afford a new US model Jackson. Japanese models were my only option for a great new guitar. This explains the new models coming out of different countries.

[RobRR]

Wow, I dont know what to say... Im assuming that the Charvels are done too them. Wow, I never thought Id see the day that MIJ J/C's didnt exist... Guess thats it for me new gutiar wise, used it is. Damn.....

[SLY]

Do Fender have a factory in Japan? The MIJ Charvel are (were build) in the same factory than the Jackson?

[RacerX]

I couldn't find any english page but can post japanese page.

I recognize the name Miyazawa, but not Shigaraki... (?)

[CowboyFromHell]

I recognize the name Miyazawa, but not Shigaraki... (?)

I'm not as familiar with the facilities as you probably are X. I dug and dug searching for info and couldn't find any either, then DM010 posted the link to that page. Hoping the translation of that page will help some of you with the knowledge shed a lil light on the subject.

[SimonEriksson]

Does anyone know where the Japanese Charvels are built? I'd love to get one of those in the future but that may not happen then I guess.

[DM010]

I recognize the name Miyazawa, but not Shigaraki... (?)

Shigaraki is misspeling.
Oliginal page wrote Chushingakki.

I don't know about Charvel but I will search.

[Predator1]

Since Namm was just last week and dealers otfen order stock at Namm, perhaps someone who was there can shed some light on the Japanese Charvel issue? If they are done perhaps a price spike is on the horizon?

[SimonEriksson]

Thomann.de still stock the Charvel pro-mods and the ones that aren't in stock have confirmed restock dates.

[kosmosrl]

SLSMG is discontinued in Canada. So Chushin closes down is a fact.
