These two pictures above, while not scaled together correctly to show as much of the dates as possible , show clearly the difference between a very early adjuster screw dated April 82 above left and a later one dated Sept 82 right. The later one on the right with the center hole is more true to the originals; For a comparison: See Here. This detail is also seen on the JV Stratocaster page. Photo above left courtesy; Rod Farmer. As a point of interest, the earlier adjuster screw on the left is very similar to those fitted to the previous Greco models, and is probably the same item.
How can I find out when my Japanese-made instrument was manufactured?

In the late s many American products were being sent overseas to be manufactured. Guitars were no different. Originally, the Japanese Fenders were only offered to the European market but later became available in the US.
