Yeah, the cynic in me thought a dodgy neck plate etc.
After 5 pages of feedback, mainly toys, you may well be right oldslapper

I wondered that, but he only mentions the JV serial in response to a bidders question. Presumably he would have mentioned it in the ad if he knew what a JV was worth?! And he would have stuck it on a whole bass!

[LukeFRC]

ooooohhh someone get this! I could tell what it is just based on the first picture- nevermind seeing the serial.
This possibly suggests I've spent too long reading about JV squiers.
Buy it for the neck if nothing else!

I have an eye on this one too, mine is one of the very early sen ash ones with the flatter boards, this would make a nice sibling for it!

I think a lot of people twigged that it's a JV - just seeing the tort plate on it got me thinking it was a JV, and judging by the questions a lot of others were thinking the same thing. And since he's added the serial number it'll show up on saved searches of the text.

So probably not quite the bargain it might have been. It'll be very interesting to see what it eventually goes for. £650? Maybe more, as people can get a bit silly and mentally take possession of hidden 'bargains' like this.

Sorry mate, but I'm guessing someone else woulda pointed it out sooner or later if I hadn't.

I wouldn't go higher than £400 on this. No pups, the seller hasn't a clue what it is or what state it's in. Lot of unknowns here. £400 would be a good buy.

No worries mate I'm only kidding.

[Ghost Rider]

I bid on it but got out bid

Not being able to try it out from a seller that knows nothing about it would put me off bidding too much.

Lets Say its worth a Punt at £180

You could well be right, I'm just guessing based on the a cost of maybe £100 for a decent set of pickups and pots. It looks fairly tidy but the changes would destroy the value for a collector. We'll just have to wait 5 days to see.

[Rick's Fine '52]

Pickguards an aftermarket too, which casts doubt over the body being legit, in the absence of all other parts? The neck looks real though, albeit a late one.

I'm guessing £420 absolute tops. Probably more like £320. Although these things can be very unpredictable, as we've probably all seen.

[Geek99]

i noticed it too, but t the back is pretty battered and the plate is A/M and it has no pups, no knobs or wiring, Its basically just a body and neck, albeit a nice neck probably and thats assuming it isnt twisted. I think £205 (its current price) is about right for the risk and additnans needed. Its certainly not a "real" JV any more, IMHO.

[pst62]

It went for £488

I was thinking the same thing, it looks exactly the same as my old JV did.
Apparently the way to tell is to see if the neck heel has been re-drilled,
I read years ago that the JV neck heel holes don't match up with later Squier Korean or Chinese bodies.
