For Sale: 1984 Fender Japan ST62-70 ’62 Reissue Stratocaster – White | JV Serial | FujiGen | Tweed Case

Up for sale is a 1984 Fender Japan ST62-70 ’62 Reissue Stratocaster in White, featuring a sought-after JV serial number (JV84206) and built at the legendary FujiGen Gakki factory.

These early Fender Japan instruments are widely respected for their craftsmanship and vintage-correct specifications. Many players and collectors consider the early MIJ era to rival — and sometimes surpass — U.S. Fender production of the same period.

This example has been upgraded with Fender Vintera ’60s Stratocaster pickups, delivering classic vintage Strat tone while retaining the original look and feel of the instrument.

Includes a non-original tweed hard-shell case.

Tone & Feel

The ST62-70 captures the classic Strat formula — clear bell-like highs, balanced mids, and tight low end. The upgraded Vintera ’60s pickups deliver warm vintage output with excellent clarity and chime.

The vintage 7.25" radius and slim neck profile give the guitar an authentic early-’60s Strat feel, making it a fantastic instrument for both collectors and players.

Historical Significance

This guitar comes from Fender Japan’s early production era at FujiGen Gakki, which began in the early 1980s when Fender partnered with Japanese builders to revive their vintage line.

The JV serial number series (Japanese Vintage) is particularly sought after today due to its high level of craftsmanship and attention to vintage detail. These early MIJ instruments helped re-establish Fender’s reputation for quality during that period.
