One of the reasons I chose the 60th Ann. in Blizzard Pearl was that it was basically a JV with the C shaped neck and 3 ply guard. The Tex Mex are sweet pickups as well. There is only one choice of color in the Roadhouse, and the extra hot bridge pickup in the JV is another selling point. 100 dollars more at MF, and the V neck might be the only drawbacks for the JV.
As said before play them both if possible.
