Squier JV 1983 question.

[MayflyGB]

Hi there bass folks.

Under the neckjoint/body of my Squier JV jazz from 83 is glued/attached a little piece of cardboard- saying "Fender 58, 11 ", does anyone know if it means anything concerning the body of the bass ? Is it a "58" copy or....?

 

Greetings Per K / Mayflybass

I'd say it's just a shim for the neck made from a piece of Fender card.

Might well be relevant to the model - the info may be here, or someone on the forum might know:

I don't think they made a '58 Jazz first time round, never mind reissues.

You might find your answer here, maybe? https://forums.fender.com/
