Fender Japan only have a few finishes on offsets now...

Black, 3TS, Old Candy Red, Old Lake Placid Blue, Vintage White, Blonde (JMs) and Fiesta Red (Jags)

I am always looking at the "Ikebe" website,  they offer a wide variety of colors on Jazzmasters and Jaguars.  I think Fender Japan makes more colors available to certain dealers.

Some those might be leftover stock of discontinued models. I don't know, because some of the models on the Fender Japan site that I'd like (like the competition mustangs or any mustangs in LPB) are no longer on Ishibashi. I wish Ikebe shipped overseas, they had a bunch of really really cheap EBMM Bongo Basses, not to mention the fine selection of FJ stuff.

They don't? I bought a pedal from them about six months ago.

They may not be shipping the Fender CIJ stuff now, but I'd be surprised if they stopped shipping everything.
