USED Fender Japan / 1982 PB57-70 Black JV-Serial Black [05]

We’ve just received a 1982 Fender Japan PB57-70 from the JV serial number era!!

This guitar was built in 1982, the year Fender Japan was launched.
The neck is marked with "10-26-82," confirming its 1982 origin.

It features the classic 50s Fender wood configuration: an alder body and a maple fingerboard.
It is equipped with vintage split pickups developed based on the 1957 Precision Bass.
Furthermore, it features reverse-winding tuners, a detail that reflects the passion Fender poured into its Japanese-made models at the time.

While there are signs of use, such as scratches and dents, considering that this instrument is over 40 years old, it remains in generally good condition.

It comes with the original soft case from that era, making this a highly recommended instrument.
