A guide for this piece: about $273, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Fiesta Red paint is worn through around the body edges of this Fender Japan ST62-70 Stratocaster.
The Piece
The neck plate reads JV73112; Fender's official dating guide places JV plus five digits broadly in 1982–1984 and warns that early records are incomplete. Alder, maple and rosewood are the construction materials. A 184 mm fingerboard radius,21 frets and 648 mm scale describe its playing layout, while about 40% fret remaining and greater wear beneath the third string make a hands-on fret assessment useful.
Details
- Maker/model: Fender Japan Stratocaster ST62-70, to Fujigen
- Dating/serial: JV73112 pictured; 1983
- Body/neck: Alder body, maple neck, rosewood board historically
- Frets/radius: 21 frets; 184 mm (7.25 in) radius
- Scale/nut: 648/42 mm (25.51/1.65 in)
- Mass: 3.37 kg (7.43 lb)
- Truss rod: Historically room in both directions, not newly adjusted
- Wear: About40% frets; third string more worn, body paint scraped away
- Included: Soft case recorded, not a newly inventoried factory set
Condition
The embedded original grade is B, with noticeable wear/dirt or damage, not AB. Body paint has been scraped away, and fret remaining was historically about 40%. The old observation that the truss rod had room in both directions is not a new adjustment or assurance that it is safe to turn now. Current neck relief, output, pickup originality and tremolo operation remain untested. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
A qualified luthier should inspect the neck, fretwork, hardware, electronics and any repaired or cracked areas before regular playing. Keep the guitar supported in its fitted case, away from abrupt heat or humidity changes. Avoid abrasive polish, especially on mirror finishes and plated parts. Setup measurements change with strings and environment.
