I can better you one :) I got given it in an elevator from a colleague when I asked what he had in the bin liner he was carrying! 1983 ... It needed some love but is excellent. I am just about to put new pots, switch and wiring in. White, nice patina fro years of dope and smoke :) This was 10 years ago or so... wouldn't sell it. I offered my colleague some serious money but he said it was just a junk Squier. LOL. Value...?... yea, lots.

Amazed that they can’t tell by the weight and workmanship it’s not a cheap guitar

I can't help but get a little emotional as i watch this video. My best friend (who was a really talented guitarist) helped me buy this guitar (used) from an older gentleman that owned a music store. I didn't know how to play (still dont) and had no knowledge about guitars so i trusted my friend to test it out in his home studio. I still remember the gentleman telling me that this guitar is older than me. Learning the history of this guitar is bittersweet. Back then my friend would show me chords to strum and he would improvise over it. I bought it in hopes to one day play along with him properly. Sadly he passed away in a car accident shortly after that and the guitar sat in storage for years. I recently picked it up again with a feeling that i owe it to my friend to learn as much as i can before my time is up.

I have a 1984 MIJ Fender Contemporary Strat! These things are not a joke, they kick ass and are wonderful sounding

I have an ‘86 MIJ Fender Contemporary Strat and it is identical part-for part. I’ve read that when the Fullerton factory closed after the buyout from CBS all production was moved to Japan because the factories there were already tooled for Squier. The only difference, as I understand, is the headstock decal. It’s an excellent guitar all round and an absolute keeper!

I have one in black with maple neck. It has quite distinct neck shape. It has different "C" shape neck that I never seen in any Fender or Squire guitar. I can see why people love this model. Maybe the playability around the neck. Thank you for a good review on the guitar.

Found one for 150 $. I was surprised so I searched and came across that the 80's models from Japan are great. Yes, they are and I prefer this over my over Fender "The Strat "as well from the '80s. Beautiful to play, very fast.

WOW!!!! Truly awesome. Congrats bro.

13 years ago was surfing through eBay and found an early '80's Dakota Red Japanese Strat that was for sale at a low price point. The guitar looks identical to yours except it has the standard bridge and tailpiece. Turns out the seller is a professional player of some note which I had no clue about at the time and he was really candid, told its an '83 Japanese manufactured Strat hat he put a Fender decal on and put in Amalfantano pickups. He said he was trying to do his own version of the Mark Knopfler Strat without the 2k price tag. The pickups were wroth almost what he wanted for the whole guitar so I bought it and have loved it ever since, an amazing guitar that plays like a dream and rings like a bell. It's like an old pair of jeans. I am lucky to have some very nice guitars but I play the Red Strat as much as any guitar I own, its that good. Anyway, sorry for the ramble but I had never seen a video on one of these before, great job and very nice playing, guitar sounded awesome and I really enjoyed the video, cheers.

Funny coincidence. I bought a white MIJ E series 70's traditional Stratocaster in about '84, then sold it like an idiot about 6 yrs later, but then it returned to me 20 years later, after some jacked up paint job. I stripped it down to wood and built it back up, finishing it in,...Dakota Red!,.. with nitrocellulose lacquer. I put in a custom-wound, hand built set of pickups, dropped in a ToneMan set of controls with Eric Johnson wiring and Bourne pots (awesome) and updated hardware. Its like one of my children, the long lost prodigal son. lol

I have the same guitar, 1984 I think. It has tex mex pickups, cts pots, wiring is the same as fender custom shop. The thing plays crazy. It’s so versatile and blindfolded you never k ow it was a budget guitar. I paid £65 for it at a pawn shop last year!!

Found an E-series, Korea, 1989. $50 Small Alpha's 500K and ceramic pickups, but the bridge is full block and Fender stamped saddles. The neck is the winner . . . Rosewood, medium frets, and the 1.5mm action bars chords E to E from the 1st to last frets clear as a bell.

My first good guitar was a E series Squier Tele. I didn’t like the pickups but I’ve played American Teles that I didn’t like the pickups on too. I still have my Tele and it’s been played for more hours than I could ever guess, it’s the only poly finished neck I’ve ever wore through in places. I still play it now and then and after 35 it’s still great and has a special place in my collection.

Still have the exact same one that I bought in 1986. Thank you for educating me on whatbI have. Great channel.

Thanks for the video and information! I bought my first (and only) electric guitar in 1986 from a mom and pop shop in Santa Monica, CA. It is a 1986 Squier Made In Japan model. There was no locking nut with the tremolo on my original guitar and it would always go out of tune, so I added a Floyd Rose tremolo system to it (I wanted to be like EVH with my guitar and still play in tune!!) I believe yours has been slightly modified too with that Fender System 1 tremolo system and locking nut. (if it is stock, then it is indeed a later model than mine with yours being a 1987 model with E7 beginning two serial numbers. Mine starts with E6) Btw, mine too is red and white like yours, but with maple neck and maple fretboard. A rare combination, as most were rosewood fretboards! I was a just starting college, and I went into debt when I bought it. It is my first child, and I never think I could part with it!! It is amazing! Btw, in 1995-1999, I actually went to work in Japan. How crazy is that!!?? Anyway, I still have my guitar and I do notice on the back of the tuning machine knobs, mine just say "Fender" while I see on yours they say "Fender Japan". I would post a picture, but can't in the comments I guess this guitar is a little treasure and also has a great story too.....

I have a black one of these. I bought it new back in the 80’s for about $130. One of my most used guitars ever since. I did end up replacing the neck and the pickups, but what a deal.

So I just picked up a new (old) one off Reverb for $650. Same Torino red as yours (maple fretboard) '87 version but mine is standard pickup layout and trem - 100% original and in very good shape. After floating the trem, and other general guitar tech work, I dialed this thing in beautifully. I got this one because I bought an original in '86 that is still mint like new and I love it. Both have the 7.25 radius and original pickups. Both pickup sets are noisy as heck (60 cycle hum) in all 5 positions (no RWRP). But I love their tone so I use the hell out of my noise gates with them.

I own a black 1984 E series I bought at my buddies pawn shop when it came in about 20years ago for $200 CAD. Love it. I have a 1988 Squier Bullet as well I traded a turd of a Kramer for last year.

I have a Squier like that from 1987. It's a fantastic guitar. I also have a Fender MIJ E-Series Contemporary Stratocaster, from 1986, with the same System 1 bridge. The only difference is that Fender has 22 frets.

I have a Squier Strat from the mid 90's made in Korea that I love. I sold a USA Strat because I preferred the Squier....my favorite neck of any Fender I've ever played which since 1964 is a lot of Fenders....

I have an E-series with three pickups (humbucker in the bridge) and three toggle switches plus volume and tone. Black body and headstock with rosewood fingerboard and no pickguard but a narrow neck. Picked it up at a yard sale for $40.00 but apparently, it's worth a lot more now.

I’m the original owner of one of those exact guitars. Got it at Guitar Center Hollywood on Sunset. Plays better than any American Standard I’ve played! I love it.

I got a JV -83 Serial no: JV67960 And it is up for grabs

My Squire is an E-series model made at FujiGen in 1987. I have checked the serial number (E 703022) against Fenders catalogue. If I remember correctly, the first number represents the year of manufacture in the 80's (hence a "7" in mine meaning 1987). Not sure if the , the "3" (0) means March and 22 the day. Don't quote me but I can't say I've seen the (more expensive) modified bridge and string lock on Squires of that vintage. They were budget models weren't they? Mine has the standard bridge and string mounts back from the nut. Still plays so well even after all these years. Made in Japan still means so much more than made in China in respect of guitars.

I sadly sold one identical to this. I believe mine was a 87 though. I loved the fender system one.

Have an 86, bought it 10 or 15 years ago for 20 bucks at a garage sale. It was covered in stickers, a bit scuffed here and there, way out of tune with what looked like the strings that came with it, and very dirty. But man, I cleaned it up, removed all of the stickers except for the Misfits sticker because they're cool, and I play it every single day and it's my favorite guitar. Low smooth action, great tone and still expect for a couple of knobs all original. I've played new Fenders that I didn't like as much as I love the tone and feel of this guitar.

I have several American Fenders and a Squiere like this one and for me it's better than the Fenders. it has a special gain for single coil and a beautiful clean sound... those who don't know this guitar may think we exaggerate what we say, but it's one of the best guitars I've ever played

The 1880 thru,83 big headstock squier guitars are the best ive played ..i ve played most..

Hey, great content you have here. The MIJ models with System I trems are FANTASTIC guitars. I own a MIJ Fender strat 1985 I bought new. Your Squier is from 1987 (E7) and in fact it is a Squier Standard Stratocaster, in Torino Red color, model number 027-8800. Fender and Squier Contemporary models all had a humbucker in at least the bridge position, among other features. There's way too much confusion on this issue for decades.

@@BobaFettBountyHunter Hi! My statement is based on the experience of those who over the years dated dozens of MIJ guitars, and makes me believe that, yes, E7 refers to 1987. You can go further and check the neck date and the pots date (if they are originals). Fuzzfaced is one of the references that I always visit, Antonio Calvosa does a great job. I just read that they were produced between 87 ~ 88.

My brothers friend got one of those exact ones recently

I have a somewhat ratty cherry burst '85 (E5) Japanese Squier (not Contemporary though), and other than the neck being a little narrower than what I normally prefer, it's a really nice playing guitar. Very solidly built. (Note, I don't know if the Contemporary has the same neck as mine has... it might not have the narrower neck).

I have a handful of these and the fender version. I've been collecting them for years. The price has gone up on them. They are identical in every way minus the pickups. The Squiers of this model had ceramic pickups where the fenders had alnico. Beside's the sticker that is the only difference. While they are great, they aren't "The best". The JV Fender Squiers of the early 80s are considered to be the top contenders. They had American PUs and nitro finishes. The first model with the lone Squier label was the SQ model which came out in 83. It had a 3 bolt neck and had SQ#### and Fender Japan stamped on the neck plate. They had Japanese alnico PUs and a 70s headstock. After that SQ model that ran from 83-84, the contemporaries came out. It is my understanding the Contemporaries didn't come out till 85. Do you have a specific reason you believe yours is an 84?

It would be interesting to open that one up and see what she's loaded with. I long ago switched mine out to alnico, but not because the ceramics sounded bad - they didn't at all, but I wanted to be cool, lol. I have since put the ceramic BACK in the bridge position.

I wanted to update this comment I made 8 months back because I have found some information that contradicts it. There are at least 2 other differences in addition to the pickups between the Fender branded Contemporary Stratocasters and Squire Stratocasters of this era. 1. The Fender branded ones have the truss rod adjustment at the top of the neck, the Squiers do not. I think you'd have to take the string locks off to use it, but still easier than taking the neck off. 2. The Fender ones had a micro-tilt adjustment hole on the back plate. I know nothing of how this works, it just looks like a hole in the plate, but I'm sure there is some sort of screw or something in there. The Squires only came in 3 colors; Black, Torino Red and Arctic white. I know there was a sunburst Fender, but not sure of the others. I just picked up a 2nd Squier identical to the one in this review but black. Love it so much. I haven't taken it apart yet, but it appears to be pretty much bone stock.

I'm trying to find a bridge pickup for these. I have the same one (System 1 Bridge, rosewood neck.. Love it) but someone put in a Seymour Duncan hotrail in the bridge spot. Anyone have some keywords I can search ebay with? I assume everyone on this video has one lol. Not many know about them

In '89-'90 during the factory transition they made them in Corona Ca. I just picked up a '89 sn 001189 on the neckplate and made in USA on the headstock. It is better than my '12 squire deluxe hot rails edition and my '94 mim fender. It's not as nice as my '12 American standard fender but it is my number 2 now , it is all stock and sounds close to the American. I haven't looked under the hood yet but everything is tits !🎸🤟🍻

These guitars were as good and arguably better than anything Fender USA was churning out at the time. As with Tokai homage Fenders of the 1970s, Fender USA really had to raise their game to maintain their market share against the Japanese instruments, which were high quality and affordable. Great sounding guitar too.

Most of the FujiGen Gakki "Squier" guitars were just Fender models with the headstock decal replaced. I have an '86 and it plays better than any USA I've owned or played. Absolutely incredible quality. If I remember correctly these were among the first (if not the first) "Squier" models. Great review!

Hey man, I have that model in Olympic White. While it may not quite be up there with the American made ones people really hunt for, I'd say it's probably a close second or third for greatest Strat (or possibly guitar) ever built under the Squier name. The guys at Fujigen are amazing, they do Ibanez Prestige!

Not having in hand your guitar, experience leads me to surmise it's a typical 6 screw Fender style bridge tailpiece. Most likely tuning problems are related to setup/ the nut and proper string stretching as the parts used on those guitars were decent quality. Standard not in hand disclaimer applies.

If you aren't going to use the bar and work the trem tailpiece on a System I bridge strat, removing the behind the nut lock setup is a consideration.

I don’t use the tremolo and use the locknut on mine it plays great and holds tune well

Suites were also made in korea
