I have an 83 JV Squier with the U.S pick ups and she sounds awesome but, man, I gotta admit that those Japanese pick ups sound r-e-a-l-l-y good. If I should ever get my hands on another early one I certainly won't balk at it if it has those.
I also have a Squier JV SST50 (SQ5). Very nice sound. Sweet and powerful sound. The neck is thin and easy to grip. Moreover, the price at that time was 50,000 yen. At the time, I could buy it for about $400. It is surprising that this is a model for students. There is a page of Squire in the catalog of Fender Japan. I agree that this video also reproduces a good sound.
The Squier is dirty and smooth, while the Fender is punchier and cleaner sounding. I have both of them, and concerning quality, there is no difference. Those JV's play fucking good. greets & rock on, Andreaso
I am into Fender Japan, but I respect Squire cos they are so similar. I have my Fender MIJ and my friend has a Squire Made in Jaoan 1984, they are so good and sililar, what I can envy is that I bought mine ten times more,,
the difference in sound between these two are usually prime examples of strats with their pickups close to the strings (squier) and strats with their pickups further away from the strings(fender). how high are the pickups set on these? if they are set the same, the squier must have quite hotter pickups. it would be cool to see what they would sound like with the same height!
yes I think so too... better than the customshop things.... to my opinion without the pedals... you can really hear the dynamics of both guitars and there is a difference.... but it's like most of good guitars.... something you like from one and something you like from the other.... may be like in real life also.... some girls do and some girls don t....
How do You manage to get that great sound with Crybaby added to Fuzz Face?? Normally it would cancel the fuzz and do a lot of weird noises due to the Crybaby's buffer... This is unsolved mystery for me despite I searched the Internet :P
I have a '69 reissue) JV Strat. Bought new from Gamlins in Cardiff in October 1982. It has Squire on the headstock - possibly one of the very earliest. You can't really AB JV Strats from this era. Fender Japan were going through a period where they were using spare bits and pieces. Mine had Made in USA pickups with plastic covered wires but others had old fashioned braded Pups. My JV Sounded great but I had to swap the Pups out for narrow humbuckers as they were notoriously noisy when used in theaters with a hard of hearing induction loop present (no different to any strandard current single coil i suppose). It has since 1991 had SD Hotrails on bridge and Di Marzio middle and neck - It's a phenomenally versatile instrument as I've wired it for splitting, serial and parallel options. Bodies were made of different woods even. Mines quite heavy with great sustain, but I've seen some early JVs light as a feather. So early 80s JV were often different within the same run. Both of these in the video sound great (As all early 80s JVs did IMHO) The Squier happens to me mellower, but I don't prefer one over the other.
How consistent are the fender JV Strats? I’m debating between three, and the best I got from a shop about one of them is “you can’t go wrong with this one” , that’s a shop in Japan
I think squier has worse older strings, his sound doesn't worse. I have this guitar, her tone better than american standart strat. She is great и охуенна
Squier sounds much fuller and more mellow - gets my vote.
this jvs guitars are all amaizing guitars better then many fender custom and signutere made
I thought i never say that, but that Squier sounds better to me
Jakub Steiner I agree there is more mojo in the squier 😱
I just became even happier with my JV83!!!
Awesome playing too :-)

The Squier seem to sound brighter to me. And if I'm gonna make a choice between them it would be both!
God, I wish I could have one of those, what a tone! I hope to play that well someday too ;)
I'd have either! The Squier JV seems a little warmer, the Fender JV more cutting

I think that what sounds better is this epic amp that you have!!!!
I think more interesting to compare your fender jv st 62-65 with squier jv export which has american pickups too
both are great ...
Please more vid's .... always a great performance ...

Man, love your playing so much!

As I recall, they're around 6.2 kohm. Neck pickup probably around 6.7kohm. Pickups alone can't make guitar this much thicker. JV's are trully beasts.
Never heard better guitars than the JV!Nice Playing!
Black Jv is great guitar but red one is so nasty. What a tone!!! Complements to the player of course.
1983 Fender JV (candy) gets my vote. It sounds more "alive" if that means anything.
Nice I have one. Tobacco sunburst 57 maple neck.
love them both. post more videos!! thanks!!!
Squire seems like it would shine brighter in a mix and with a live band. The ST62 sounds nice and warm though. Great playing!
Yeah. I kind've prefer the Squire pickups. Fuller sound. Why? Is it the pickups, or the set up?
poesia per le mie orecchie
i have a 83 JV too. It is a amazing Guitar.
Super sound and playing!
sweet guitars! great playing too!
I have a Greco strat just before they became Fender Japan. From the many many strats I have had this Greco strat is my soul mate !!
Both sounds fantastic. Sweet playin man!
Amazing guitars. I have a JV too ^^
yes I think so too... better than the customshop things....
to my opinion
without the pedals... you can really hear the dynamics of both guitars
and there is a difference....
but it's like most of good guitars.... something you like from one and something you like from the other....
may be like in real life also.... some girls do and some girls don t....
squier nice playin' brother. enjoyed
Sweet strat tones
Oh how I miss your videos =)... is it possible for you to do Old love by Eric Clapton ?
Do you have a favorite JV pickup? Domestic SQ5 hotrod or one of the Fullerton varients?
Little wing the current Stairway to Heaven
Definately the "Candy"!
both sounds great,great playing btw
As always , a great video !

I think the fender sounds a little nicer

How do You manage to get that great sound with Crybaby added to Fuzz Face?? Normally it would cancel the fuzz and do a lot of weird noises due to the Crybaby's buffer... This is unsolved mystery for me despite I searched the Internet :P

Which pickups are in the guitars ?
THE THIRD ONE.....
blackie! ST62-65 nice very twangky. i guess

Squier
Hi there. Sorry but do you mind to tell me what is the name of the song on 0:44? Great playing btw man!
Little wing by hendrix...one of the most commonly played guitar songs out there
Thanks!
And then the SRV version :)
Does anyone know the name of the song that he's playing at 4:33 ?!
Jimi Hendrix - Have You Ever Been (To Electric Ladyland)
Thanks! :)
Song at 10:37?
Thanks
Amp settings?
They have alder or basswood bodies?
Both were used and Sen Ash also.
I dont think one sounds better than the other. I guess it depends on what one is after. They both sound great.
Song at 10:37?
Alchemy Philip Sayce
Yeah,sure is!!..its quality!
I think squier has worse older strings, his sound doesn't worse. I have this guitar, her tone better than american standart strat. She is great и охуенна
Both got same fresh strings.
I don't undertand what difference between this guitars? One fender jv second squier jv? Both has jv and 1983
One has USA pickups the other has Japanese pickups
Squier sounded better 1000000000%
Squire jv is better sounding, , sorry Fender
ibanese
Japanese on the ibanese.
black
If u actually think the Japanese Squier sounds better get your damn ears checked.. smh
