Fender Japan JVSerial Stratocaster Overhaul Restoration

I overhauled a Fender Japan Stratocaster by polishing the parts, replacing the frets, and replacing the nut.
It was made in 1982, so it's 39 years old.
I was able to touch this precious Japanese guitar.

For masking tape, 3M is good. For high frets on guitars, 6mm is recommended.

Dremel 4000 rotor. Great torque, but hot! If you can, get a 4000 because it can do a lot of things.

I heard there is a new one called 4300. If you can use the base plate of a StuMac, this might work too.
amzn.to/3712F48
3M body polishing compound, this is enough for a guitar.

It's good to have a lot of stuff, orange English oil for fingerboard

This cloth is very good. Recommended. Seriously.

None of my guitars even need a re-fret but I want this man to re-fret them anyway. Astonishingly-meticulous work. Just beautiful.

I have a JV series from 1983 olympic white.. really weel aged... bougth it in 1995 for 125$ . It always been my favoryte guitar 😊 it plays so well... Tried alot of USA fender strat and they dont even compare.

[@Andybassguitar]

いいギターをお持ちですね！作りや、考え方が日本のギターはUSA製と違って面白いです。 日本人としてあなたがそのギターを気に入ってくれたことがとても嬉しいです。

[@sai90000able]

大学生の時、金に困った友人から格安で買ったストラトがJVシリアルでした。 今では多数のギターを所有していますが、最も「らしい」音の出るギターです。 プレミアつくのもわかります。

[@agcacustoms2852]

This is truly amazing work and it’s very pleasant to watch.

[@michaeljustice124]

Out of all the colors strats come in, to me, Black with a white pickguard is the most beautiful of all. Simple and clean.

[@timjbd]

Watching these videos is both relaxing and mesmerizing. Makes me wonder how much time is spent on the lovely rehab? Here in the US- if you could even find anyone to do this sort of meticulous work- it would cost thou$and$..

[@heavi-armed-infadel]

Great work! You really should use a nitrile gloves when working with solvents. A small percentage does absorb through the skin and repeated exposure over the long term will affect the liver. That's why so many old guys who sprayed Lacquer doing cabinetry back in the day all died so young, they'd wash their hands everyday with lacquer thinner and over several years destroyed their livers prematurely. 🤘🏻🎶

[@MT-nz5ef]

Amazing work! The detail & care you commit to each of these instruments is beautiful.

An incredible job. If you ever have time to answer questions, please feel free to ignore everything I ask, I'm not sensitive. Anyone else wanting to weigh in on this, I appreciate it. I'm relatively new to guitars (last 4yrs), so I'm looking to learn. 1. Why do you choose to restore the original nuts (when possible), as opposed to using aftermarket graphtech nuts? 2. What is the most valuable instrument you've ever been entrusted to restore/fix? 3. Do you have a favorite brand regarding quality & attention to detail? Perhaps a top 3? Any mainstream brands, or are they all boutique? 4. What is your personal opinion on relic'ing - meaning, if you were to choose a custom guitar, would you prefer relic or new? I don't expect you to judge people's decisions, just what you prefer personally. I'm on board with the thought that relic'ing is just fake hipster 'authenticism'. However, I notice some of the best guitarists & luthiers will really appreciate a properly relic'd guitar. For the neck, I understand the worked-in feel, but all the 'damage' seems insincere & unnecessary. It seems to be a battle between a worked-in feel & "stolen valor" appearance. I appreciate the opinions of experts so maybe I'll be convinced someday to appreciate relics more.

[@Andybassguitar]

Thank you for your comment. I don't understand English very well, so I may not fully understand your question, but I will try to answer. 1. are aftermarket graphtech nuts the nuts with grooves cut in them that are commercially available? If so, it would be ideal to make your own, considering the width of the neck. 2. The most valuable instruments I have worked on are 70's jazz basses and 70's Rickenbackers. I don't pay much attention to them. 3. I like ESP's Navigator as a manufacturer's product. It may be custom made, but I like Brillbate's BR replica best. I think it's a great guitar. 4. This question is a matter of taste, so I think it can go either way. If I think a new guitar is cool, I'll buy it, and if I think a relic guitar is cool, I'll buy it. I don't dislike Relic. I do it too. I think it's okay to decide what you like based on how it looks. My favorite kind of relic is a relic where only the screw heads are rusted and the parts work like new. If you just rust all the parts, it is not a relic. You are just wearing out the guitar. It's all a matter of personal preference, and what you are willing to pay for is up to you. I would be happy if you share my obsession in that.

[@NunchucksHabit]

@@Andybassguitar Thank you so much for spending the time answering, I appreciate this. Again, the best channel I've seen on people wanting to learn how to work on guitars - exceptional attention to detail & no annoying music in the background. Camera work is perfect. This is very rare. Recommending your channel everywhere.

Awesome job. 👍🏻 Shame the guitar’s just been devalued though. NEVER overdo restoration job on a Strat, US or Japanese as they’re quite sort after too.

[@tomlicata8882]

How does cleaning the hardware and a refret devalue it?

[@jazznotes3802]

@@tomlicata8882 Guitar collectors (or just old Strat lovers) like things left alone. Just like anything of age, messing with it can greatly devalue the item. That’s any item, not just guitars.

Dear Andy. i just want to ask you your opinion about Fender JV Serial Guitars. they made it really well? anyway i love what you done for guitars turn in to almost new guitar:) i’m really impressed.!

[@sudako3taro]

5:45辺りでリューターに取り付けているアタッチメントは何でしょうか？　 リューターを使って真鍮ブラシ→ピカールを使ってバフ掛けという手順をふんでいるのですが、Andyさんの様に綺麗に仕上がらなくて...

[@Andybassguitar]

この時使っているのはフエルトバフです。 仕上がりの綺麗さは正直メッキの状態によって大きく変わります。 状態をよく確認しながら、次の作業に移るようにするといいかもしれません。 状態によっては、ある程度諦めも重要です。光らせるというよりもサビを落とすというのが重要なので。 諦めないとメッキを剥がしてしまうこともあるので、錆落としに力を入れるようにシています。

[@lovecraftmusic8717]

what kind of products have you used to clean the bridge parts from rust and dirt?

[@donnyhall2535]

Nice work man. What brand of nut slotting files do you use? Mine aren't that great, so I'm looking for a better set.

[@Andybassguitar]

Thank you. I don't know about the nut file, as I am using the one you gave me. I think it is not for sale. When this file breaks, I'm going to buy one from sewmac because they have something similar. www.stewmac.com/luthier-tools-and-supplies/types-of-tools/files/double-edge-nut-files/

Great video as always! Can you please tell what spray do you use at 3:11 and what abrasive do you use at 15:18?

Thanks for the comment. At 3:11, I use chain cleaner. It is an oil remover that does not erode the plastic. At 15:18, I use 3M sponge polish. Fret Polish 3M Sponge Polish #320-600 amzn.to/2YC5c0k #800-1000 amzn.to/2JnIEd9 #1200-1500 amzn.to/32iG29c

[@steveblease]

Does not the cost of this amount of work outweight the value of the instruments? It's certainly seems way more than they cost to buy.

[@Andybassguitar]

In my opinion, it would be nice if you could think of the work done as increasing the value of the instrument, rather than determining the work against the value of the instrument.

[@steveblease]

@@Andybassguitar Well, you know some people, the more work you do, the less the instrument is worth. They just want original, even when that would mean the thing isn't playable.
