Thank you

Yeah wasn’t sure because it doesn’t have anything else after the logo (apart from a fag burn) but the plate starts with H78

My old JV1 Squier. My first guitar and I can’t believe how lucky I was to pick this out as a 13 year old kid with no idea about guitars.

Yeah, still play it regularly. It’s got a Seymour Duncan jb junior in the bridge and a pretty hot dimarzio neck pup. Was modded when I bought it and makes for a very versatile guitar.

I’ve just seen a JV Squire made in 86 advertised, that’s bullshit right? :hmm:

Watching this thread come to life again reminds me I'm going to be in Japan over Christmas and New Year. Going on the hunt one more time…

Awesome! Can't wait to do another Japan trip.

I just got my midnight blue Humming Bird back, they're so great to play!

Hard to capture the deep blue colour, this shows it a bit better. They are my favourite of the vintage Mosrite obsessed MIJ era
