I think it's not a new guitar...
judging from the picture, it looks like an American Standart Stratocaster 3 tone sunburst 2002/03
or below 2007

Hey guys, my copy of the SCANDAL MAMI/ROCK STUDY GO!! arrived today.

The first few pages have got the guitars she currently uses, and without trying to be too anally retentive, I'll mention the names of two of her guitars described by the magazine (these guitars are already listed by Lexian above). I know, tomayto, tomahto.

Her "Stratomaster" is documented as a Squier by Fender Stratomaster MAMI Model Strat HSS. Please don't ask me why they call it a Strat with that offset body. Tongue

And interestingly, her sunburst Strat that she used recently on the SCANDAL Live House tour in spring 2013 is a Custom Shop Stratocaster, and not just a Standard Strat.

Here are scans from the magazine:

MAMI'S GEAR - Page 2 Mami01SH_zps176691c9

MAMI'S GEAR - Page 2 Mami02aSH_zps6eee1339

Another thing, though. The magazine described her 'sticker' Strat as an FSR (Fender Special Run - "...specially commissioned by individual dealers and built to their specifications. As they aren't regular production models, FSR instruments and amps aren't generally available to every dealer, and Fender seldom provide specs or listings for them on its website." - Fender.com) American Deluxe Strat.  Hmm.

Here's the FSR caption together with two other guitars, her acoustic Yamaha and the CANTA Guitar:

They're probably just shortening "Stratomaster".

But there are a couple odd things about that guitar in this magazine. First, the guitar she is holding in the gallery section is not the same guitar she usually plays!

It has a full Jazzmaster decal on the headstock, a regular Jazzmaster bridge, and no foam behind the bridge.

MAMI'S GEAR - Page 2 20131011

MAMI'S GEAR - Page 2 20131012

Am I late to this party, and do people already know something I don't? Does she say anything about this in the interview? I can't read Japanese so the answer might be staring me right in the face. Is the one she's holding a production Mami model? Did Squier build another one just for use in these photos (for marketing)? Or does she just have two of these?

The second one (the gallery version) seems to be based on a Squier VM Jazzmaster but with her own pickup config and of course color scheme.

And interestingly, her sunburst Strat that she used recently on the SCANDAL Live House tour in spring 2013 is a Custom Shop Stratocaster, and not just a Standard Strat.
That jumped out at me too - I don't really understand why she'd order a sunburst American Strat from the custom shop. Is there anything special about it, to those who can read Japanese? It looks like a pretty standard config to me.

One last thing I didn't see pointed out is that her original Jazzmaster definitely *is* a Classic Player. I was not sure about that before and the main page here says it's either American or CP, but it is definitely a CP. The bridge is an adjust-o-matic and the tremolo is in the spot it's at on the CP's.

I didn't notice that. Great work, Sherlock! Probably I defo now think she does have two of them Stratomasters.

Like you, I'd like it if some kind soul can translate the text! If only there's an iPhone app that can scan text and translate...

A close look at the picture posted by Nausicaa1201 will see that is the second one displayed in Scandal Shop (not the actual instrument she bring on tage) https://www.scandal-heaven.com/t9054-where-to-purchase-scandal-goods-within-japan.
The bridge mini humbucker is also a different model. It is good for them to have Fender/Squire build custom guitars as back up for their coming hall tour.

Oooooooh, I didn't see that thread before. That's kinda lame for those going to that store that they just have/had replicas there, although now I guess you can say Mami at least posed with this guitar once.

I still wonder why they're differently configured. I have a feeling hers is really custom and the one at the shop is just a VM with a decal on the body and a different pickguard to accommodate the pickup config and switch. But otherwise the one she's posing with looks like it's probably just an Olympic White VMJM.

Ah! What you think is probably right! Someone just modify an off-the-shelf Squire to look like the custom instrument for shop display and shooting purpose.
One more thing I noticed is that all their (actual) guitars are fitted with Schaller strap locks. You know what i mean?
There was funny talk that their Roadie Motchy sometimes put on the straps to have the Fender logo upside down. haha!

Ok so I read the small part about her "stratomaster" and now I know why !!

So it is said that about the pattern, it's an original pattern made by Mami which represent a falling star.
Then it's called "Stratomaster" because it's a mix of Stratcaster and Jazzmaster. Body, bridge, tune-o-matic, tremolo unit of a Jazzmaster and, neck and middle pickups of a Stratomaster. So it's an hybrid between a Strat and a Jazzmaster.
The bridge pickup is a hambucker one but with a single coil size (Seymour duncan)

I have noticed both of those things also. Well, they need strap locks for the amount they move around on stage - I have actually seen guitarists have their straps come off on stage, and of course it always happens at the worst moment (because it's when you're jumping or running that it's most likely to happen). And I've often wondered about the straps being upside down... can't they feel that? I mean those straps are not symmetrical - they've got the folded over end in front and the loop or whatever you call it right around the shoulder area. I'd feel very weird playing with a strap like that. But I guess not all guitarists are so picky.

babaloued: thanks for translating! I guess the explanation of the name we pretty much knew already, but I didn't know what the paint design was supposed to represent.

Yeah :I I don't like standard guitars, or simple guitars, I always liked guitars that shows your personality, I love guitars that are unique, and people can recognize you by the guitar and vice versa...

Also, I like her style, It's so... abstract, I like it! :3

I'm going to make the pattern of the Mami model guitar for new year so wanted to do some modification on my guitar in the same time. I didn't find out on this thread but who knows what kind of bridge PU does Mami use ? I know it's an HB but from fender ? Seymour Duncan ?
