PRICE DROP JV Strat - 1982, Nitro Refin - Burgundy Mist

scalino65

1982 fender Squire JV. refinished in Nitro Burgundy Mist. Maple board. As the guitar is 35 years old now, the refin has been lightly aged and has some great lacquer checking and some wear on the back which shows also silver/blue in places. Very cool. Set up with new 10-46 Ernie Balls and a blocked trem. Comes with HSC.

Hopefully you can see the lacquer checking in the one below





Looking for 575pounds. Located SW London if you want to have a look. Shipping is no prob - I can pack it up well in a guitar box, probably abut 20 quid ish to send in UK.

Nice.

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps.
 The pickups are neck and middle original as far as i can tell, bridge is a replacement seymour duncan. It has an original green cap. Currently a five way switch but original DC-30 comes with.
Also, which I really should have mentioned (apologies) the bridge has been routed for a humbucker.
cheers

Original JV pots and the Seymour Duncan in the bridge, original black bottom p/us in neck and middle

Burgundy Mist...sounds like an enigmatic beauty that you find in your dreams, calling your name in her honeyed tone,"you know want me", she says, "and as it happens, I want you." Her tease arouses you, and as you reach for an imaginary whip (because you're into that sort of that stuff) you wake startled and disappointed. Burgundy Mist wasn't the enigmatic beauty you dreamed of, but instead a horse you backed. And it lost. To make yourself feel better you go and lust after a Squier JV you've got your eye on, and to your surprise, something you didn't notice before, the colour... it's only f*@king Burgundy Mist! Dreams, reality, horses, guitars... it's all a blur. What the f@*k is going on?!...

And back in the room. Someone buy this. I don't particularly like maple 'boards and yet, as you've probably gathered, I find it incredibly alluring.

Burgundy. Mist. Absolute sex talk.

Anyway, am dropping the price down to 500 on this sexy beast.

What is the condition of the frets?

scalino65

@Mototech Thanks for the question, there is a lot of fretlife left, definitely not a candidate for a refret. There is some string wear to some frets which I've tried to capture in these pics:

what's the fret board radius on this ?

scalino65

Hi there. I dont have a radius gauge but am very sure from comparing with other strats that its a 9.5. Its definitely not the vintage 7.25 and does not feel as flat as a modern 12".
The neck is a very comfortable C shape. Not skinny by any means but not a baseball bat (e.g.early jeff beck strat) either. I can take any measurements you'd like (other than radius) just let me know
Best

Hi. To follow up The neck widths are 1st fret=  42.25mm and 12th fret =51.65mm according to my calipers. Neck profile is a deeper C shape. I think fender sometime refer to it as "oval". cheers. Will

Could you measure from the fretboard to the back of the neck at the 1st and 12th frets to give an idea of the depth?
Cheers!

scalino65

Hi, thanks for the question, sure:
neck depths are:
1st = 20.80 mm
12th = 22.70mm
cheers

Bit slim for me, but thanks anyway. Shame, as I am only round the corner (work in SW15)

scalino65

Its very odd, as I looked up some comparables and it doesnt feel anywhere near as slim as the guitars mentioned. Maybe I bggered up my measuring!!!
You'd be very welcome to pop over anyway to take a look and have a cup of tea- no obligation!!!:)
