CST(Domestic JV ‘Current Stratocaster Series’)

During 1983, another model made an appearance, this was the large headstock 70�s Stratocaster with a JV number, the CST-30S, CST-45, CST-50 and CST-55 (these were the Japanese domestic versions of the export SQ line)

These models appear to have begun life around April 1983, and (rather confusingly) start with a JV0xxxx numberIt is (as yet) not completely clear as to why this was done, but it has caused a few problems with less knowledgeable buyers getting the impression that they were the first JV’s made. This of course is not so, as the first JV guitars had 1952, 1957 and 1962 appointments and were produced a full year earlier (from April 1982).
