significant signs of cosmetic wear consistent with its 40-year history. The body and headstock feature numerous prominent dings, deep scratches, and multiple paint chips throughout. There is visible surface oxidation and rust on the metal hardware, including the bridge, saddles, and tuners. The pickguard and plastic parts show noticeable yellowing and surface scuffs from regular play. Regarding functional playability, the frets exhibit moderate wear with approximately 60% of their life remaining. The neck is currently straight, and the truss rod has been tested for movement in both directions. All electronics are functional, though some minor scratchy noise may occur in the potentiometers due to age. This guitar is missing its original case and will be shipped as the body only. Please carefully inspect all high-resolution photos to confirm the extent of the cosmetic damage before purchasing.② Product DescriptionThis 1984 Squier SST-30 Stratocaster is a remarkable example of early Japanese manufacturing from the legendary JV (Japanese Vintage) serial era. Produced by the Fujigen factory, this model represents the debut period of Squier as Fender Japan’s sister brand. It features a traditional basswood body and a comfortable maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, providing the classic Stratocaster "spank" and resonance. Despite being an entry-level model at the time, the build quality and wood selection have allowed it to age into a professional-grade vintage instrument. It features a standard 25.5-inch scale length and a nut width of approximately 1.65 inches. The guitar is well-balanced, weighing 7.74 lbs (3.51 kg). Please note that no case is included; the instrument will be securely packed for safe international transit.③ History and RarityThe "JV Serial" Squiers manufactured between 1982 and 1984 are among the most coveted instruments in the "Japan Vintage" market. These guitars were produced during a pivotal moment when Fender moved production to Japan to rival high-quality replicas, resulting in craftsmanship that often exceeded American standards of the time. The SST-30 is a historically significant model from this inaugural lineup. As 1980s Japanese Fenders continue to rise in global value, finding an authentic JV serial Stratocaster—even one with heavy play wear—is a rare opportunity for collectors. Its "relic" appearance is not artificial but a result of four decades of genuine musical history, making it a prized piece for those who value authentic vintage character.④ SpecificationsBrand: SquierSize: Full Scale (25.5 inch)Vintage: Yes (1984)Country of Manufacture: Japan (Fujigen)Style: StratocasterModel: SST-30Season: JV Serial EraBody Type: Solid BodyString Configuration: 6 StringHandedness: Right-Handed Please Note shipping from Japan.
