Yes one day I will have it in my hands if God will ! This one and a greco se1200 super real...

That's a good point and that's why I have been quite disappointed with a st57-70 jv I've received, the finition was not extraordinary quite plastic like and it seems to be the reason, but the high end of fender japan might be better than its american counter part. Give them the american budget...

Amazing, it means that not only the JV serial (1982-1984) had alder but also the A serial (1985) and the E serial (1987), that's a great new for musicians and for my work of course. These TL62B telecaster are extremely looked after.

Could be a fault of traduction. I think it means sen body, a kind of japanese ash they could have for a very cheap price, it's almost as good as ash and better than basswood. Then in 1986 they probably changed for ash or basswood. Translators sometimes have difficulties with the rare japanese...

I was wrong it is not the st72-55 it's the tl72-55 the model I'm sellin right now, a telecaster, it's confusing all these models when you can't read japanese, where have you found the english board ? Is there any one for the other guitar models ?

It's fender Japan ST72-55 from the 1985 catalog, they have it online but I can't read japanese, I want to know if they used alder body on some models, because later years they used basswood. It indicates the quality and the efforts put in the eighties by the japanese because for 70 000 yen you...

Hi I need a japanese reader to identify the wood used on the body of this guitar model : Peace to you all.

I agree with you that it seems to be from the same pencil, thank you very much for your help edit : I am talking about the 1 in front of the 800, we clearly see that it's the same ink. I believe that the guy has seen a EG1800 or was about to take one in hands and was impressed so he made this...

I count on you guys, I don't want to invest on a guitar that is a valuable but not as much as expected because it's a model that don't exist

Hello, a greco sv1800 is being sold in japan actually, I can't find any information about it on the web, do you think it realmy exists ? Or a very smart guy just added a one on the sticker inside the body to make it extremely valuable in appearance ? I give you the pictures I have at disposition :

After more than 20 instruments imported I totally trust japanese sellers. When there are big problems they don't hide it. It's probably the light and the angle.of the picture that make you think something is broken on the neck.

I am in France

I need you because I'm about to buy more les paul japanese models and I don't know a lot, I'm a fender specialist, and a fender player

Thanks, it is not the dream but a beautiful model, and it surely sounds amazing, kind of thing to bring to a true guitar shop. Because on the web market it has not a real interest compared to original tokaï. But these 80s were really a blessful era for all these japanese plant.

Is it polyurethane or lacquer finish that's the thing
