Up for sale, a 1984 Fender '62 Stratocaster model ST62-115 in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a tweed hardshell case. Produced in the third year of Fender Japan instrument production, this "Japanese Vintage" (JV) series guitar is an exceedingly rare example and the highest tiered model offered, with a nitro lacquer finish and the same pickups and steel trem block used on the Fender USA Fullerton factory reissues from the same year. The pickups are the original gray bobbin trio with staggered alnico V magnets, and this JV series Strat is notable for having a very faithful and fast-feeling '60s neck carve, with a bit more shoulder than the necks seen on the first Fullerton factory '62 Strats produced concurrently in the USA.
Extremely accurate to vintage spec and sold only within Japan, tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard. The gray bobbin USA-made Fullerton-era pickups deliver an array of vital tonalities; the bridge pickup has ample sparkle and clear note attack, with classic Strat quack at the “in-between” positions on the 3-way pickup selector switch, and the neck pickup is girthy and full, with a bell-like quality and a gutsy cut. This JV-era Stratocaster weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss three-tone Sunburst nitro lacquer finish exhibits a bit of light, concentrated buckle wear at the belly contour, mild scuffing along the pick path, and a number of minor marks on the body as a whole, primarily concentrated at the lower bout on the back and perimeter. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss, and there is a cigarette burn on the peghead.
The original tweed hardshell case is included and equally as clean as the guitar.
