You mean an ST80?
290,00 yen, thats ?1845, $3050. That's about the going rate for a Fullerton. You could probably get an ST80 for half that.

Wow! And that's in Japan, not US Ebay. Either somebody really wanted it badly or, considering what my my JVs cost when I got them, I just got a lot richer.greco_burst said:I just saw this listing on japan yahoo auction, and she just went for over 290,000 yen .......getting rare now?

Cali Girl said:Yes, I meant ST-80. I wonder how it compares to the tokai model specs.

I'm not familiar with the JV 115s, but I would assume that they are comparable in specs to an ST80 & a Fullerton (US) 57 or 62RI. They should all be very good Strats, it's just a matter of preference as to which is better.
Mind you, most of the Fullertons are likley to have a 3 piece body (typical Fender specs for an original 57 or 62 Strat), whereas an ST80 will be 2 piece. Despite that, I still reckon a Fullerton has the edge over an ST80, but it's a very slight edge. And it's not really about quality, I just love the Fullerton 62RI necks & the softer nitro they used.
Any of these guitars should be the next best thing to a genuine late 50s or early 60s Strat, & comparable to a modern Custom Shop Strat, IMHO.
