Nibody Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Do all the JV's have "Fender" in big font then a smaller "Squier"? Curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 ...when it is a 1990 Jap Squier! Well the serial number dates it to then any way. If you add on shipping and 20-25% in tax/duty then it isn't such a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious. [/quote] No, only the very first JVs had the large Fender/small Squier logo (other than the non-export Fender/Squier from that period); JV's 'generally' have the small Fender logo. <edit> Oh and out of principle I wouldn't buy a Squier from someone who couldn't spell it correctly in their title.

[/quote] It does wind me up the amount of people that spell it wrong although I hope to one day find a gem on eBay that no one else notices cuz iv searched 'squire'. I suspect that day will never come. Nice bass although I thought 90s Squiers were Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
