Squier JV Stratocaster 1982-84 compared to Fender USA Stratocaster

The JV or Japanese Vintage Squiers are very sought after, especially ones like this example where the electronics and finish are all original and almost NOS. It only has very slight buckle rash and a chip off the pick guard. I compare it to my USA start by playing over a backing and then comparing all the pickup positions. It goes without saying that the settings are the same in each every example for both guitars. 0:00 - Intro 1:05 - JV Stratocaster played over backing track 2:26 - USA Stratocaster play
