De fleste kjenner sikkert JV Squier historien. Dette er en godbit. En JV ’57 Strat strat med Fenderlogo, produsert rett etter modellens oppstart våren i 1982. Denne har JV 5-tusen serienr, en helt original gitar i en fantastisk stand.
Nydelig 2 tone Sunburst med en gulnet hals.
Fenderlogo versjonene var beregnet for det Japanske markedet, de er i dag sjeldne og meget populære gitarer. Vi forstår at Schultz og co i Fender fikk hakeslepp når de så hva Fuji Gen-Gakki og Fender Japan kunne lage. Denne har ”gray bobin” 82′ merkede mikker. Gray bobin mickene kom før og er enda mer skjeldene enn red bobin mickene som brukt litt senere.
De fleste JV Stratocastere senere har US micker med sort bobin og tøyisolasjon rundt ledningene.
Fender USA sendte deler til Fender Japan til bruk for å produsere Fenders Squier JV Serie for eksport og for salg i Japan; med Fender logo.
Min er en domestic Fenderlogo JV ST57-65.
Info hentet fra nettet angående USA (Fullerton 1982-1984)62/57 Vintage pickups, sitat;
Reissue Strat Red Bottom Pickups
The earliest reissue strats had red bottom pickups with 1982 date stamps and thin plastic wiring. These pickups are very rare and were only used on the very first reissues from 1982. These red bottom pickups are typically present on guitars with serial number below V003000 or so, but I have seen a few guitars with serial numbers as high as V008000 with red bottom pickups. An early 1982 reissue can either have red, grey, or black bottom pickups, with black being the most common. Finding a 1982 Fender Reissue with red bottom pickups is a real find. I have made a point to get my hands on as many red bottom pickup reissues as I can, as original examples are exceedingly rare. Guitars that feature these rare red bottom pickups command a premium over their standard black pickup counterparts.
Reissue Strat Grey Bottom Pickups
A few early 1982 reissues also had gray bottom pickups with 1982 date stamps and thin plastic wiring. These gray bottom pickups are even rarer than the red bottom pickups. I have only come across a handful of early reissue strats that have these grey bottom pickups. If you own a 1982 reissue with these grey bottom pickups consider yourself lucky!
Reissue Strat Black Bottom Pickups
The most common type of pickups that were used were black bottom pickups with cloth covered wiring. All of the pickups used on early reissue strats had staggered pole pieces with flat tops to the pole magnets. It was not until 1998 that the pole pieces had beveled edges.
Specs for these pickups do not appear to be listed anywhere, however a conclusion can be drawn from an interview with Dan Smith taken from the 1984 edition of Music UK….
“The early Fender pickups were only measured in DC resistance…with a variance of +/- 20%. And this is why two stratocasters coming out during the same period may have major sound differenses. To combat this inconsistency, Fender rounded up a collection of old pickups and had them player evaluated. After the best unit was generally agreed upon, it was then tested not only for DC resistance but for resonant peak, Q factor and the numerous other methods by which a pickup is rated.”
This leads me to conclude that all of Fenders Fullerton made vintage style pickups were wound to the same specs and that the red bobbins were perhaps due to supply problems of black/grey material and just that. The specs didn’t alter until Fender improved their pickups by adding the different era types when the company had settled into the Corona plant.
En gitarhistorisk perle.
