1982-1983: Squier JV guitars

After the depressing CBS era, FENDER started to cheer up again. At that time, a large number of FENDER guitar imitations were on the market. Born in the hands of Japanese guitar makers. These guitars are generally of very low price and high quality. For example, one manufacturer's headstock LOGO is very close to FENDER's LOGO, but the trademarks used are Tokia Stratocaster replaced by Spring Sound, and Telecaster replaced by Breezy Sound.

FENDER is determined to create its own Japanese manufacturing company. FENDER JAPAN The FENDER factory in Japan was built in March 1982. Its equipment and technical support come from factories in the United States and Japan. These equipment are used to produce 6 traditional FENDER products. 57 and 62 Stratocaster, 52 Telecaster, 57 and 62 Precision Bass and 62 Jazz Bass.

At the same time. A large number of FENDER imitations produced in Asia entered Europe, and FENDER realized that it must produce low-priced products. SQUIER, which had been sealed for a long time, re-entered FENDER's eyes. Squier JV (Japanese Vintage is finally born), this is a high-quality guitar. Every part is manufactured according to the prototype, and only the Squier LOGO is printed on the headstock to distinguish it.

The SQUIER JV series was discontinued in 1984. Today, it is a treasure for many collectors. The headstocks of future SQUIERs will have a new large LOGO and the familiar by fender words printed on them.
