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.

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"

Nice MIM Neck. Wonder if the original neck will pop up on ebay later.

[i]Looks like its had a pro re-wire. 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]

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
