Yes. Never played one, but they normally go for much more than that I think.

Decided against it. The pickguard is broken, and it needs new tuners, but the pawn shop who listed it doesn't want to go down.

I would still pay that for it if the neck is nice. They fit tele neck pockets and have a nice glossy finish. I've owned two, an early 80s MIJ and a late 80s MIK.

It's a wee bit steep, but the necks on those Korean Squiers are nice. Not quite as skinny as a CIJ Mustang, but thin and smooth with an old-school radius. The tuners are likely to be "two peg" types rather than one screw on the corner, so finding like-for-like replacements might be tricky.
What else? Hmm...the bridge plate and screws don't look original to me. I'm just going on one example that I owned back as a teenager...I bought it second-hand twenty or so years ago, and sold it on to someone here who doesn't seem to post any more. |

fuckin yeah dude, the pickguard cut between the pickups and the controls is tight as hell too and one of the biggest things i miss about owning a jaguar (and a working cyclone (that i still need to get my shit together with and save up $150 for the electronics and pickguard replacements i wanna do))
