Crafted in the early days of Fender Japan production, when quality between the Squier and Fender brands was virtually indistinguishable, this uncommon Japanese-market SST model was part of the \"Japanese Vintage\" (JV) line which only lasted from 1982-84.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 7lbs 13oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard. Built at the FujiGen Gakki factory in Japan, this guitar was one of Fender's earliest attempts at an affordable Strat under the Squier brand name, easily exceeding the quality of later Squier iterations. The original trio of SQ-5 Hot Rod single coil pickups are coupled to a five-way pickup selector switch, offering an array of traditional Strat tonalities. The bridge pickup delivers plenty of sparkle and bite, while the neck pickup has a smooth, bell-like response. This Squier SST-50 has been professionally set up here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck: Maple\u003cbr\u003eShape: Medium C, measuring .850” at 1st fret, .930” at 12th fret\u003cbr\u003eFretboard: Rosewood, 7 1\/4” radius\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Slender, no wear\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25 1\/2”\u003cbr\u003eNut: 1.650” (42mm), bone\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh\u003cbr\u003eSerialization: JV-prefix, “Made in Japan” (1983)\u003cbr\u003eFactory markings: Neck heel pencil dated 6-9-83\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody: Basswood\u003cbr\u003ePickups: SQ-5 Hot Rod single coil x3\u003cbr\u003eHarness: Untouched solder, full-sized 250K Japanese pots\u003cbr\u003eControls: Volume, Tone x2, five-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003eHardware: Synchronized Tremolo, jack cup\u003cbr\u003ePlastics: Three-ply white pickguard, yellowed pickup covers, white knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss three-tone Sunburst finish has some dings and finish scratches from light use on the body, while the gloss finish on the neck profile is clean and smooth with just a few shallow nicks between frets 4-6.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA black molded hardshell case is included.","brand":"Squier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50839522279680,"sku":"JV55889","price":1899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/files\/medium_940b2968-4ab0-4e6b-a272-43950d624853.jpg?v=1793369883","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/1983-squier-by-fender-jv-stratocaster-62-vintage-reissue-sst-50-sunburst-100-original-w-case-japan-mij-fujigen","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
