Not the same thing at all.

I've seen them go for this, though I'd be happier 100 euros less.
The thing to check is a fully operational trussrod - the weak spot on the otherwise excellent JV, SQ and A series MIJ Squiers.
The one thing that I would question is the originality of the one-ply black pickguard on a Fifties style two-colour sunburst finish. I would expect thin, single ply white. I do not recall Squier ever stretching to a gold anodised plate.
The vendor is asking top Dollar. For that, you should expect one hundred per cent originality. I suspect that the cost of the tech work has been factored in to the price.
"The pots, pups and cloth covered wiring and caps are all original and the original white pick guard is present."
They gained their reputation when they were the only reasonably historically accurate and high-quality instruments made by Fender other than the very rare first series Custom Shop Reissues, which were also much more expensive. Nowadays, you can get Mexican or Japanese vintage reissues which are at least as well-made and accurate and have the 'right' name on the headstock, so JV values have levelled out, and I think it's unlikely they'll ever go up again.

If you so much as think that you MIGHT want rosewood, grab it whilst you still can.

There is also the secondary issue of Republic Of Ireland pricing practices. The alternatives to paying through the nose locally are either to cross St. George's Channel or to buy unseen and trust couriers not to mash the merchandise. All options are a bit of a bind. Reluctance is understandable.
As a workhorse they are unbeatable
