Here’s a rare and eye-catching 1983 Squier ST852 in the stunning Royal Violet Sunburst (RVS) finish—an incredibly cool and unique color that sets this guitar apart from the pack. Made in Japan during the golden era of Squier production, this model is packed with features that make it a must-have for collectors and players alike.
It features an alder body with a 1-piece maple neck and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard—smooth, fast, and great for lead work. The pickups are a pair of Dragstar 06H-PU humbuckers that deliver punchy tones perfect for everything from classic rock to early metal. No pickguard here—just sleek lines and a raw aesthetic. Controls include 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs, and a 3-way toggle switch for quick pickup selection.
This model also comes equipped with the special UPPER ROX / BOTTOM ROX unit, giving you even more tonal versatility and creative options. The neck is straight, the truss rod works in both directions, and the frets are in excellent shape.
Sparingly played and well cared for, this guitar is a standout from the early Squier years. If you're looking for something rare, vibey, and undeniably cool—this is the one. Don’t miss out on owning a piece of MIJ history!
