== History == FUJIGEN started production in 1960 under the name , making violins and classical guitars. In 1962, Fuji started production of electric guitars. In the 1970s, Fuji started making OEM guitars for companies such as Hoshino Gakki (Ibanez), 1970's UK importers, Arbiter, Charles Summerfield Ltd (Ibanez, CSL, Cimar & Sumbro) and J.T Coppock (Antoria) Kanda Shokai (Greco guitars) and Yamaha. In 1977–78, Fuji entered a joint venture with Roland to produce guitar synthesizers. In 1981, Fuji opted out of acoustic guitar production to mainly concentrate on solid body guitar production. Fuji obtained a CNC router in mid 1981 for making guitar parts and also began to manufacture their own pickups starting in late 1981. In 1981–82, Fuji obtained the Fender Japan contract which lasted until 1996–97 and in 1983 Fuji were producing 14,000 guitars a month with 80% of the guitars being made for export markets and 20% being made for Japanese domestic markets.
