USED FENDER JAPAN (-2015) / TL52-65 “JV SERIAL” -1983- Butterscotch Blonde [04]

TL52-65 “JV SERIAL” Butterscotch Blonde
Neck Date: 6/17/83

Produced by Fender Japan since 1982
Among these, the early serial numbers starting with “JV” are particularly popular; they are in high demand not only in Japan but also overseas, and their prices have been rising sharply.

It features a polyurethane finish, inch-sized hardware, cross-wired pickups, and brass saddles.

The body is made of ash, and the wood grain characteristic of ash is clearly visible.
The finish is polyurethane in the popular “Butter Scotch Blonde” color.
The neck is a one-piece maple with 21 frets.
As with the original vintage models, all hardware screws are flat-head.
The pickups are USA-made with cross-wired leads.
Both the volume and tone pots appear to have been replaced.
A small capacitor has been retrofitted into the volume pot; this is likely a high-pass filter.
The pickguard is a thick, black one
—which is why it’s also known as a “Black Guard”—and it pairs perfectly with the butterscotch blonde finish. Fender was amazing to come up with this color scheme back in 1950!!!

It’s been over 40 years since it was made, so while there are some scratches and minor dents, I think it’s in pretty good condition.
There is a crack in the finish about 1 cm long at the neck joint on the 6th string side, but there are no cracks in the wood itself.
The neck is currently straight, and the truss rod is adjustable.
