ash Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looks like a hybrid of US 70's and 90's MIM. The silver decal could also suggest 80's US as there was a period where the truss rod access was up top. Hmmm.....interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 The one thing that struck me was the starting price. When I first saw it I was expecting £1000 as it is Mickey Owens. I know he is a nothing in the guitar world, but usually people get carried away with the celebrity thing and price "accordingly" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Nice MIM Neck. Wonder if the original neck will pop up on ebay later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering going by the crack at the heel if its been used to re-create the cover of London Calling and the necks been replaced due to damage.[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 the Ebay listers not been back yet to answer when it was used in the Vibrators, doesn't know if it's a MIM (as he only plays a US Fender ) & to answer what it actually is, or was...but the pots are 1992 he tells me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
