Hi folks, can any Squier nerds please help me out? I've won an auction for a "JV Squier" that was supposedly pieced together from 1982 parts...but something ain't quite right.
The neck is a legit JV precision neck, although possibly a domestic edition due to the smaller machine heads....but the body doesn't fly right with me. Surely a JV body would have the ditch below the neck pocket for the truss rod access? The bridge clearly isn't an export JV but could be domestic or other? And what's up with the neck pocket stamp...I'm fairly sure that is says SQ-JB...which I've never come across before! I thought that could have meant it was an SQ model, but they would also have the truss rod access slot....so what gives? Does anyone out there have a JV / SQ with the same features? If anyone can help, that would be great!
Thank you.
