Hi, I posted this already in the other thread but wanted to follow up here and ask for opinions on this, since I’m unexperienced.
The owner states that they put new electronics and pickups in.
Does anyone have experience with the quality of early Korea made Squiers?
Do ypu think this would be a good purchase for the price?
I tried to convert the price to US currency but couldn’t, what’s the price in US? The nut area really concerns me.
Its about 290 USD.
Yeah the nut area is the biggest flaw but what else would one do besides glueing it in?
Man there’s a whole world outside of the United States. They even use different currencies, wild I know.
250 € (250 Euro) is about 289 USD
That’s about it, the area that concerns me I believe is the nut and the actual fretboard where the nut glues in if I’m looking at it right. There are so many more intelligent people on here about this situation that I’m sure will chime in however I do believe that correcting this problem,( fretboard,nut) is going to cost you, how much? I have no idea,again others are much more experience in this area. May be a total neck replacement, not sure. I feel it’s a good price if everything else checks out and I love buying old basses just be aware you will probably have to sink more money into it. Again I may be way off base here.
LOL! 
I find the damage significant. Before you decide: ask the seller to send some more high resolution pics.
If I remember correctly, Kleinanzeigen always resizes pics to a lower resolution, even within their internal messaging system, so you need to give him your email address to get proper pics.
Maybe do a video call with him/her, before … just to find out if he/she is trustworthy.
I sell and buy all the time via Kleinanzeigen … and always do a video call to check out my counterpart.
PS Perhaps you can ask at bassic.de too? It’s a great German forum with knowledgeable and helpful people. They might be able to assess the price & damage and point you to alternatives, if neccessary.
I guess someone deleted my post🤷🏼♂️. Not sure why.
Been there. And I can guess the context too.
Don’t worry - ignore it and don’t look back 
Yessir, I will take that advise, thank you.
Korean made Squier especially early were Japanese components that was transferred to the new factory. First Korean team were their A-team, I came across a P bass and it’s technically better than the USA Fender of the same era. Gotta remember that’s a very difficult time for CBS Fender, their quality control were just a big hot mess.
Yeah was gonna say that era for Fender products is not top tier, except for the MIJ’s where Fujigen was cranking out some of the best Fenders ever made. If the Squier was MIK I would say it is probably good.
Thank you all gor your replies.
I just wanted to make sure nobody suddenly cries: " Holy Cow, that era the Squiers were the sh*t, you gotta get your hands on this"
I think I’ll wait then till I realy can justify a second bass
I think that’s exactly what we @howard and I were saying. It’s better than the Fender USA of the same era. If it’s cheap enough get it.
Yeah, I mean I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it, but at the same time for that era Fender was really spotty while the Asian-made instruments were solid. It’s probably fine.
Ahh, ok sry I misunderstood, in this case I’ll think about it
