Fender Squier JV 1957 Stratocaster Sunburst, 1982

On October 1, 2019 /

Here we have a Fender Squier JV 1957 Stratocaster Sunburst reissue, built during 1982 for Fender Japan by Fuji-Gen Gakki. This is an excellent instrument from an interesting point in Fender’s history. By the end of the 1970’s Fender, under CBS management, was struggling. Import copies were getting better all the time, which was made very clear to Fender executives touring Japanese factories with a view to doing some production there. At this time, Fender also hired three executives from Yamaha.

The first Square shoulder dreadnoughts appeared around 1931, under Martin’s own name and with the D model designation.

Gibson Les Paul Special TV Yellow, 1993

On September 30, 2019 /

The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Special is simple. Mahogany is used for a slab body, and the neck. Rosewood is used for the bound fingerboard – and that’s it for wood selection. Hardware is also straightforward, with Kluson Deluxe tuners at the head – originally strip tuners, now individual gears -and at the other end, a stop bar tailpiece. Electronics include a pair of P-90 single coil pickups, pickup selector and individual volume and tone controls; the output jack is on the side.
