That's art .............

dsuspense · 03-22-2010, 10:15 PM

Yes it is also on 21frets. It does look almost new from 6 ft :-)
I actually has a few dings and a lot of rusty screws, tarnished saddles and tuning keys, but hey it is vintage, so I won't complain.
Resonates like no other strat I have had and has a wonderful vintage tone...

Not too many lefty JV's out there, but I'm still holding hope I land one one day.

One of the most collectible Squiers,one to hold on to,better than most Fenders made now.Lookin for a JV Tele some day.

This one is a domestic Japan Fender JV and not a Squier JV model; That said, this particular Fender JV version (ST-65) is exactly the same spec as an export Squier model, except for the headstock decal of course!....

And yes it is quite stunning!.....

I do own 4 "JV" export Squiers and believe me they're the best (compared to Mex and nowadays USA's) playin' axes, and they'll be authentic collectables in no time.

Wow that looks great! Where can I gent one?

I bought a similar Squier 1985, made in 1983, and sold it 1996. What was i thinking?

Aaaaargh! for it too. I bought that Ibanez Musician MC-300 guitar as new in November 1979, and sold it 1995. I didn`t lose any money, but it would have been wiser to keep it. Excellent build, finish and tone in that guitar.

Robb, do you still have your Kramer? How about a pic of it?

Cool Craig · 05-05-2011, 07:42 PM

Very nice JV mid 60s ST reissue. The Epitome of Japanese craftsmanship and work ethic. Is that...is that the original oval sticker on its pick-guard?? get out!! ......very impressive mud shovel Mr D.

Yep!!! I still play it every week, here's a couple of pics of other axes I have that you may like:

1- Kramer DMZ-2000 made in USA from 1979, I suited a luthier made neck on it a lot lighter than the original aluminum neck (I still have the alu neck in just in case ).

2- Ibanez Artist 2613 made in Japan in 1973.

3- Ibanez Artist AR-300 made in Japan in 1984.

Nice collection! It surprises me that Ibanez Artist 2613 is made so early as 1973 model. I always thought they came first in late 70`s.

I remember well seeing Kramer DMZ-2000 guitars and similar other Kramers played by guitarists here in Stockholm area in 1980. I think rock groups we`re most numerous in late 70`s to mid 80`s.

Now number of rock groups is fast growing again, some of new ones are very good, like Stilettica!

Thanks for your great link!

I found all my 5 old Ibanez guitars & DT bass there, except Rick 330 copy. I had it 1971-76, it could have been a 60`s model.

tjnugent · 05-08-2011, 05:17 PM

What a beautiful JV Strat. You are giving me JV Gas....bigtime

I'm DROOOOOOLLLLIIINNNGG,

Thank's for the incredible links to Ibanez catalogs, I even found my old 1973 2613 in there.

Ibanez guitars are a great part of Japanese craftmanship from the 70's and 80's...
