1983 Fender JV Stratocaster '62 Vintage Reissue ST62-65 Metallic Pink w/ Case, Japan MIJ Fujigen

1983 Fender JV Stratocaster '62 Vintage Reissue ST62-65 Metallic Pink w/ Case, Japan MIJ Fujigen

Up for sale, a 1983 Fender JV Stratocaster ‘62 vintage reissue model ST62-65 in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Produced in the second year of Fender Japan production, this rare model was made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market as part of the "Japanese Vintage" (JV) line which only lasted from 1982-84.

These extremely well-crafted instruments paralleled Fender's USA reissue production at the Fullerton factory, and this Strat is extremely accurate to vintage spec with a resonant alder body, thick slab rosewood fretboard on the one-piece maple neck, offering a smooth, balanced acoustic quality that translates well through the pickups. The guitar retains its original trio of black bobbin single coils, purportedly USA-made according to Fender Japan's '83 catalog, featuring untouched solder joints. The bridge pickup is sparkling and clear, while the neck pickup has ideal fullness and a chiming bell-like top end. The five-way switch makes it easy to access quintessential Strat quack and cut in positions 2 and 4 too. The guitar weighs 8lbs 2oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with low action, spot-on intonation, and fresh 10-46 strings.

The gloss Metallic Pink finish is clean and well-kept, with one small finish chip at the treble side of the neck pocket and just a couple faint marks on the rest of the body. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean, with limited rack rash on the treble side of the peghead beyond the nut (outside of the playing area).

A modern Fender G&G Deluxe hardshell case is included.
