Fender Japan 1982 JV TELECASTER 4 Digit w/ JV Catalogue, JV Tweed bag 08-21-82
Hello from TommyGuitars.com
In stock is a rare 4-digit Fender Japan JV Series Telecaster in butterscotch blonde, dating to August 21, 1982, with original parts that is in very good condition. As shown in the pics, it comes with its original tweed gig bag and a Fender Japan JV Catalogue. This guitar was made by Fender Japan, which offers unsurpassed quality in guitar craftsmanship. This guitar was Fender Japan's first run of making the Telecaster (JV Series) and is now a collectors item with many of them being sold to serious JV collectors in Europe (Holland, Belgium), Canada, and the U.S. There were only a fixed number of these manufactured and when they're sold, they're gone!
The JV Series is Fender Japan's first manufactured guitar that made the Fender USA executives almost cry when they visited the Fender factory in Tokyo because of their high quality standard. For the full story on the excellence of this guitar, please check out 'The Fender Japan Story' on Google which my shop helped translate from Japanese into English.
Fender Japan started production in April 1982, this guitar is dated August 21, 1982, only 4 months after Fender Japan opened its doors to the world.
