Joint Venture is correct. "Vintage" wasn't really a term thrown around in the guitar world in 1982, especially in reference to guitar models from the late 60s or 70s.
Hi Luke, I’d be interested in the info you have found regarding the Joint Venture comment. I’ve always been a JV fan and never heard of this phrase. It’s always been Japanese Vintage historically.
I honestly can’t remember my resource for this, but will try and digit out and let you know. Agreed most resources refer to it as “Japanese Vintage” and I initially believed this was correct. Maybe I’m wrong! 😅 . I’ll be back….
Great little vid', very clear dissemination of the guitar and its history. Is there an update with regards the price paid at auction for this particular instrument?
I thought the very early ones were either 2 colour SB for 57 and 3 colour SB for 62 ,maybe in UK it was different I live in Canada and only seen the above mentioned, I wish I could go back to 1982 and buy a few for 200 pound
Perhaps… I have seen both Black and white 57 maple boards ones that appear original. Perhaps the very first “Squier Series” ones were SB only. I’d have to research this UK vs Canada vs other country aspect further….
I have an original 82 JV , same colour but single ply scratch board with the elusive ‘usa pickups fitted ‘ sticker still on it I bought it over 20 years ago from the original purchaser who played it a dozen times and then put it under his bed for 21 years, I don’t think it’s as nice as a japanese built hank Marvin strat I have but that’s just my opinion
Can you elaborate on the comparison with the MIJ Hank Marvin strat? I am currently on the fence of picking one up.. It is in as new condition, with the pickups upgraded to Kinman pickups.. However, the asking price is a bit steep..

I’ve been a collector for 42 years and Ive never heard the Joint Venture reference! I’ve always known it to be Japanese Vintage!!!

Yes. Really like that 'under the hood' stuff. Educational as well as entertaining!👌
Thanks Michael!! 🙌🏼

I bought my Squier Strat in 1984 - has an 'SQ' serial number not 'JV'.
Still have it btw and play it every day.
SQs are awesome!
Have an SQ model as well. Had it 30+ years and still going strong.
Many thanks for uploading these videos. Great info.
Seems to me that many present day Squiers are also great guitars.
Cheers George, thanks for watching!

Luke very interesting video and informative. Excellent
Thanks Mike!
Thanks Luke, very interesting. I have an 88 squire serial C007569 and I've played it into the ground ha ha. One of the best guitars I have.
They are amazing guitars. Most Squier guitars are!

I got mine new for 220 quid in Sheffield. Played it today.
I have an original 82 JV ,
same colour but single ply scratch board with the elusive ‘usa pickups fitted ‘ sticker still on it
