Ok then, here they are:
2008 American Std Strat, 1998 CIJ Jag

I really like the red Jag with matching headstock. Nothing "plain Jane" about that! If I ever break down and buy a Fender, it will probably be due to a red Jag.

This is my 1983 Squier JV which i bought for £90 from ebay. Actually it was £130 but i had the nerve to ask for a price reduction! I had no idea how sought after they were and neither did the seller.
Nice guy, although very religious, he blessed me and alsorts. Well, i was looking for the holy grail of Stratocasters and i think i found it.

Check this JV youtube, go on, HD and full screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J87J0_ja6xA

Why is this JV Squier so sought after?

They were the first Fender Japan guitars, there's a bit of a trade war story but basiclly the Japanese wanted show just how good they could produce. It's pretty much a 1962 stratocaster, perfect weight, attention to detail etc.
I've owned a couple of 90s Japanese reissues but they don't seem to come close, i don't know what it is.. Japanese happiness factor or something! The pickups were made in the USA, vintage spec with fibre bobbins and cloth wire.
I never found out if they were original old stock or specially made for the JV. they have the yellow crayon marks like the early p/u's. Mine have purple windings which are said to be a slightly duller sound.
It's an export model, the Japanese made for the home market are really highly sought after.

I have a Danelectro hodad that could use this treatment, do you have any pics of the process?
