Re: Strat question.
As mentioned, that logo is wrong which leads me to believe that it's not a fender neck at the least.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Re: Strat question.
No skunk stripe on the neck with 21 fret neck *could* be a 62 AVRI.
I don't know, man. That very well could be a 62 AVRI. Check out pics online. Logo looks right, tuning pegs look right. Truss rod at the body end of the neck. 21 Frets. String tree is right. Even the 6 screw Tremolo looks right. Triple ply pick guard also looks right, I think.
If you can see it in person, look for a serial #. You may have to take the neck off to be sure, though.Last edited by Old Guy; 02-12-2019, 11:36 AM.

Re: Strat question.
The angle of the Fender Stratocaster logo is wrong and the location of the original contour body decal is wrong. Waterslides are easliy available online so putting logos on a non-Fender neck is easy. The pickguard is a 62RI layout, but if it was an AVRI the neck plate shouldn’t have the fender logo and it should have a serial number.
That’s where my knowledge runs out, and I’d love to be proven wrong that it’s a legit Fender.
What’s the value he’s putting on it?

Re: Strat question.
I think that could be a MIM Classic Player 60s neck.
I had one of those and it had the same look, 21 frets, truss adjustment at the bottom of the neck and tuners/string guide that looked exactly the same. No idea about the body though.
EDIT: I think mine had a skunk stripe though, so now I'm confused. I'd pass if I was you TBH.Epiphone LP Standard PlusTop Pro

Ibanez RG270 / Screamin' Demon bridge.

The skewed logo concerned me.

Re: Strat question.
If that logo was put on by Fender someone there botched it and badly...
Look at it's angle: F is too close to the edge, and it ends closer to tuning peg than any Fender or Squier logo I've seen. Which happens because it's not straight, but bent in the middle.
That style Fender headstock text should be level completely."So understand/Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years/Face up, make your stand/And realize you're living in the golden years"

Re: Strat question.
Fretboard edge is sloppy on the headstock side
Not enough of an expert on strats to comment, but maybe examine the "shoulder" shape of the neck profile near the fretboard?
Oh... also, take the neck off, look for inspection stamps or sheets"New stuff always sucks" -Me
