Up for sale, a 1982 Fender JV Stratocaster ‘57 vintage reissue model ST57-65 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Produced in the very first year of Fender Japan production, this “Japanese Vintage” (JV) series guitar has the name of the original owner engraved on the neck plate in place of the serial; a custom option offered by Fender only in the earliest days of Fender Japan.
Weighing 7lbs 5oz, this JV Stratocaster is extremely accurate to vintage spec and sold only within Japan and to select international territories. Tonewoods include an alder body and a one-piece maple neck, and the black bobbin pickups deliver an array of vital Strat tonalities with plenty of chime and clarity. These Japanese-made single coils have plenty of sparkle and cut in the bridge position, with a sweet, bell-like quality at the neck and a clear percussive chop in the middle position on the three-way switch. This JV Stratocaster ST57-65 has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
