phsycoandy Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I know its for charity and all that but it looks like it says Squier on the headstock to me, cant quite make it out!

john_the_bass Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I think you're about bang on there. I can't quite make out the headstock but the American Vintage ones have plastic knobs as opposed to the chrome VMJ ones and this ebay one appears to have something written on the pickups (ie. Duncan Designed) = Squier VMJ. Plus - if you bought a new one, it wouldn't have all that writing on it!!

Paul Cooke Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It's most definitely a Squier VMJ... so it's misleadingly listed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_u_y_* Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) I messaged the guy with a link to the Squier product page. I just can't help think that he is being delibrately misleading because of the photos that he chose. They are seem to make the headstock tricky to view at first glance. I hope that I am wrong.

Tee Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Wow, a Squier signed by a 'pub-rock' band and a starting bid of £600. I'm surprised the listing doesn't say "Bargain" or something equally as annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phsycoandy Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Well he's pulled it after several messages from the BC police I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Didn't need to pull it, just needed to correct the description and header line... and maybe revise the starting price down a touch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Relisted with a starting bid of £49, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobiebass Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 oh balls, they are only £200 new. Maybe my "supposedly" stupid low bid might clinch it. oooops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
