Rick's Fine '52 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 [quote name='KK Jale' post='1246502' date='May 27 2011, 12:14 AM']Lovely! Thanks for posting. Those '58s... argh... Geek alert: as another brace-of-JVs person, may I inquire if yours came with bridge/pickup covers?[/quote] Thanks for the comment, JV's are just fab, i love them. My Precision didnt, i added those. The Jazz is a bit special though, it was the one exhibited by Fender Japan, when they initially showcased them to the World, along with a Stratocaster. My Jazz has the earliest known neck date for a JV, and is featured on the JV site. It came with both covers, and also the string mutes fitted. They wanted it to be a true replica, as you know, they were too good, so in mid '82, after just 2 months, they removed all the 'extras' such as mutes, covers, and changed from large fender, small squire decal, to large squire, small fender decal.The 'slab' rosewood boards lasted until mid '83 (Presumably o use up stocks?), when the laminated boards took over. Mine has a JV00 serial, the Precision is a JV0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK Jale Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Veeery interesting. Your JV Jazz is historic. My Precisions are but a humble JV1 '57 and a JV2 '62. I didn't realise before that covers disappeared with the logo change (I seem to recall a big-Fender-small-Squier J with no cover holes - that I missed, alas - but maybe t'was an anomaly, or I'm mistaken). Pretty nuts to be talking about these when we could be discussing real '52 neck profiles but, hey, I'm just chipping in where I can PS Bad news.
