SOLD - FS - Substantially Upgraded MIJ 1983 Squier JV Stratocaster.

jimkehoe · January 15

£800. Collection only.

This is a rare and beautiful beast that has been tastefully upgraded with respect to its heritage.

It has been brilliantly refinished and aged in nitro and very subtlety relicced.

The pick ups have been upgraded to Bare Knuckle ‘59 slab which would cost £300 alone and sound superb.

The bridge has been upgraded to Callaham.

Fretboard is lovely to play and a gorgeous dark rosewood.

The neck profile and playing is pure ‘62 with vintage frets yet it has a great action that doesn’t choke out anywhere and feels tremendous.

It weighs in at 7 lbs and 13 ounces.

So all in all a true vintage masterpiece that plays, feels and sounds wonderful.

Collection only from near Dorking in Surrey - I want to make sure you play it admire it and lust after it before you take it away.

The eagle eyed amongst you will realise this was advertised on here by @bgmartinsbridge from whom I bought it. I can safely say that it is probably the best feeling, playing and sounding strat I have owned over 40 years (probably a dozen or so).

Unfortunately I have a shoulder injury from mountain biking that is very sensitive and easily aggravated and I can’t tolerate anything on a strap over 7 pounds 1 or 2 ounces max. As much as I love this guitar I know it won’t be possible to gig it and I can’t afford the luxury of keeping it purely to,play sat down at home.

I will consider swaps or trades for pretty much the same thing but lighter or a PRS DGT SE that is 7 pounds in weight.
