JV Fender Question

[tayste_2000]

If a JV fender had the serial number JV99829 could someone tell me the exact date it was made?

Or does it not work that way, I believe it's a 1984 but unsure how from the info I have other than these were 82-84 made.

Cheers

it will be written on the end of the neck if that helps. Late in the production though

And if it's not?

No idea how you could come up with a date for this if there's nothing penciled on the neck. That serial is very late though - something to be aware of is that some early SQ instruments received JV neck plates. Quite different beasts though.

I can confirm it's not an SQ, no skunk stripe and no truss cap in dark wood

Look at the pots - should be a date code on them which will narrow it down
