Made in Japan Limited Active Modern Series

The Made in Japan Limited Active Modern series is a new modern style option developed for players who prefer high-end guitars and seek both playability and sound quality. Based on the iconic single-coil sound that has shaped the history of music for Fender, it is equipped with the newly developed active “SILENCOIL System.” It reduces hum noise without compromising the original tone of the single-coil, achieving a high level of comfort, quietness, and a wide range of sound variations required in today’s playing environment.

The neck features a newly designed heel cut, a finish that ensures smooth playability, and a compound radius fingerboard. It provides comfortable playability at all positions, from chord playing in the lower positions to technical lead playing in the higher positions.

The newly developed “SILENCOIL System” maintains the delicate nuances and clear attack inherent in single-coil pickups, while sending a signal from the pickup’s ground side to cancel out only the hum noise picked up by the independent coil, resulting in a clear and three-dimensional sound. Furthermore, because the system design is independent of the type of pickup, the effects of the “SILENCOIL System” can be maintained even if the pickups are replaced in the future.

Furthermore, it features a “Turbo Tone” clean boost function that simulates the effect of increasing the number of windings on a single-coil pickup. This allows you to instantly switch from the usual delicate and clear tone to a thick and powerful sound, accommodating a wide range of musical styles from clean to crunch to drive.

Combining the precise craftsmanship unique to Made in Japan with modern functionality, this series inherits the traditional Fender sound while being a modern guitar for players seeking more freedom and expressive playing.

MIJ-Active-Modern-Feature-4

Smooth playability

Featuring a custom neck finish and compound radius fingerboard, this guitar offers a smooth feel and just the right amount of grip, enabling effortless position changes. It comfortably accommodates a wide range of playing styles, from chord playing in the lower positions to bending and shredding in the higher positions.

MIJ-Active-Modern-Feature-5

SILENCOIL System

The newly developed noiseless circuit board and independent coil mounted below the pickup maintain the original single-coil sound while canceling out hum noise, resulting in a clear and three-dimensional sound. Furthermore, its design allows for use when replacing pickups, accommodating future customizations. (When replacing pickups, system adjustment via the trim in the battery box may be necessary. The system is adjusted to match the standard pickup at the time of shipment.)
