Squier JV Owners!

Nope; JV Squier.

I think all of the JV line were recreations of vintage fenders. Mine; for example, has the reverse tuners and originally had the extra strap button on the back of the headstock. I think the PUP spacing is pre 70's spec too,...but don't quote me on that.

EDIT: Thin Poly.
 
Im reading all the stuff on your blogspot Kenji, its awesome!

The bass is in Columbus, should arrive here tomorrow! Im pretty pumped!

And did I mention, the bass comes with:
Extra All parts neck.
Original neck, refretted (Missing the original logo.. Kinda bummer, but Im going to get a decal made to the same specs)
3 pickguards, two anodized and a white
full ashtrays
tugbar

Im pretty pumped!
 
JV were finished in thin poly BUT there were very few early '57 RI that had nitro finish (these basses were probably made before Oct. '82. I even post here a photo of very rare fretless '83 JV Squier Jazz that was finished in nitro.

If mine's poly, it's the thinnest, most nitro like poly I've ever seen. It's even flaking and checking like nitro on the headstock.
