SOLD FS: 1983 Squier JV ‘57 Stratocaster FINAL PRICE DROP £675

NeilSmith83

A very nice ‘83 JV Squier ‘57 Strat. 7lbs 11oz. Pickups are original, back plate was missing when I bought it. I’ve upgraded the saddles to a Highwood set and the block to a US Fender steel block, but the original saddles and block are included. Also includes a Fender hard case. 

I think the nut slots are getting low on this and it could probably do with replacing. I don't have the time to get it changed myself. Other than that this is a really warm-sounding and resonant Strat, with a lovely-feeling neck. I'll probably regret letting it go eventually!

Looking for £850. edit - £800 £750 £700 FINAL PRICE DROP - £675 SOLD

I'm happy to post this if needed as it has the hard case and I have a proper box from Peach too.

Thats my old JV, real killer playing strat, one I regret selling for sure GLWTS

NeilSmith83

Thanks mate! It is a beauty. I think the nut slots might be getting a bit low and I reckon it could do with a new one so I'm going to shave £50 off this to compensate. Someone grab a bargain! 

NeilSmith83

Sod it - £750.

Looking for £850. edit - £800 £750 - priced to sell! £700 - I think the nut slots are getting low on this and it could probably do with a new nut so I'm shaving another £50 off to reflect that. I don't have the time to get it changed myself. Other than that this is a really warm-sounding and resonant Strat, with a lovely-feeling neck. I'll probably regret letting it go eventually!

I'm happy to post this if needed. 

That’s really nice ,good luck with the sale

How is this thing still here?

Incredible guitar, my mate bought one and my jaw dropped.

Unfortunately, I'm not ready for a divorce, yet...

GLWS!

Can someone please enlighten me why these are supposedly so good? Why would I buy this when I could get a USA standard instead? Genuinely curious.

They are genuinely good guitars from a good era plus have become quite collectible. I have one and it feels and sounds like a good old Strat.

I agree - someone buy this quick. A great price. Shame I've already got a JV strat.
