well over 150....and the above is not a JV neck...

I'm with villager on that as well, never seen a JV with "made in japan" in that position on the neck. The lettering on the JV serial no. doesn't look quite correct to me either.

actually thats a point that slipped my mind. It does have the same p`ups and pots as my other JVs ...good thing it was only a couple of hunderd dollars.

Maybe someone just swapped out the neck.

Mine has a later dated neck, but I knew that when I bought it.

Those early JV's are some good wood, though man. It's my favorite Strat and I paid like $400 for it.

mmmm, my JV9XXXXXX has made on Japan on the base of the neck, and I bought that off Villager......

made in japan is stamped on the neck base of all JV's after early 1983..

but... ALL JV's have a neck stamped date up to the last one made in early 84..

some also have a Y or an R on the neck / body join face..but standard 62 is a later stamp..not a JV..

could be ... problem is, the web is full of experts with conflicting opinions.

villager · Sep 3, 2007

no its not...no one has ever thought a JV has anything but a neck date stamp...I have never read, heard or seen otherwise..

tezza-j · Sep 3, 2007

yes it is, ho, ho......
