1983 Squier ST-72 JV Stratocaster Olympic White

Up for sale is a legendary 1983 Squier "JV Series" Stratocaster in a beautifully aged Olympic White. Built during the golden era of Fujigen craftsmanship, these early Japanese-made Fenders/Squiers are famous for rivaling (and often exceeding) the US production of the same era.

This one is a fantastic player with some tasteful upgrades, ready for the stage or studio.

Key Specs & Details:

 Year / Origin: 1983, Made in Japan (JV serial plate clearly visible: ⁠JV71840⁠)

 Finish: Olympic White (has aged gracefully into a gorgeous, creamy vintage hue)

 Neck: Slim, comfortable maple neck with a dark, rich rosewood fingerboard.

 Pickguard: Upgraded to a stunning vintage-style tortoiseshell guard that pairs perfectly with the aged white finish.

 Pickups:

 Replaced bridge pickup: Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder (provides a fat, punchy, high-output lead tone that cuts beautifully through a mix).

 Original/era-correct neck and middle single-coils for classic vintage Strat chime and quack in positions 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Condition & Playability:

 Frets: Overall in great shape with plenty of life left. There is only nominal fretwear on the B and high E strings, mostly confined to the lower register, which does not affect playability or cause any buzzing.

 Cosmetics: Honest, light player wear as expected for a 40+ year-old guitar, adding to its authentic vintage mojo. No structural issues or repairs.

 Case: Comes with its original hard shell case featuring the highly coveted blue plush interior and the classic duck foot pocket tab.

This is an exceptional opportunity to grab a highly collectible, killer-playing piece of Fender Japan history.
