Historical Significance

This guitar was built in 1984 by FujiGen Gakki as part of Fender Japan’s now-iconic JV ("Japanese Vintage") series, which launched in 1982. These early MIJ guitars helped revive Fender's vintage line with period-accurate specs, USA components, and superb quality control. The ST62-70 is one of the most desirable models from that era, made even rarer with its Fullerton pickups and JV serial.
