Fender introduced this short lived line to give put some fresh colors on the palette. The name of the colors all had geographical names sort-of, hence the name "International. Except for Arctic White and the two Bursts, these colors has not been used by Fender USA since. Fender Japan reissued the line in 2022 using most of the same colors.
The serial on these are S8-serials which got people to believe they had 78-79 models instead. But actually, CBS had an overstock of S8-serials leftover and used them on these.
The International Series sold little at a time when CBS was in decline turmoil with Fender.
