JCM guitar?

Anybody heard of JCM? It’s not a build I’ve come across. Looks like a lot of Sho-Bud parts, and has a tiny bit of an MCI look about it too. There’s one on Reverb.com for just under £1k (and open to offers). Looks pretty good for the price to be fair.
Could be a worthwhile purchase for somebody starting out!

It's a (little) known, mid 2010s(?), US brand. JCM (Jefferson County Music) built by Darrell Stiles - don't have any more info other than they look good with some parts from (or copies of) ShoBud and others.

Thanks for the info Tony! It certainly looks functional, and the asking price is very fair I think!

To be honest it looks a really good deal and could even have money back resale?

You could be right John, I hadn’t really thought of looking up the seller to be honest. I think there was a phone number on the advert though?
Not that that guarantees the advert’s legitimacy however..

Looked OK to me but John might have a better instinct, he certainly has more trading experience. Upottery has a US air base, so it could be known over the pond - otherwise it's an odd choice for a scam. There is a number, but it's a mobile, so no location info there. Wouldn't hurt to ring or text I suppose.

Hello everyone. This one caught my eye earlier today on Reverb also. So do you think this is legit? I'm tempted to call the number and see. If states that collection can be arranged either in Devon or Oxfordshire...
