Fender Custom Shop? - Neck
This is a neck that was originally on a Fender CS Stratocaster.
I purchased it around 1998 at a musical instrument store in Osaka.
The reason I'm listing it as CS? is because
while the body had a CS mark,
I couldn't find the same mark on the neck.
Both the body and neck
have been refinished once,
so it's possible the CS mark disappeared during that process.
(I've forgotten where the CS mark was located when I purchased it.)
Because I planned to use it for many live performances,
for strength, I changed the finish to poly paint during the refinishing.
(It might have been a thick lacquer.)
There's a possibility that the neck was swapped with a non-CS neck at the time of purchase.
Based on the parts, I infer that
the neck was likely CS, but
since I can't be certain, I'm listing it as CS?.
At the neck joint,
there are markings REC and APR 1992 (manufacturing date?).
The tuners, tuner bushings, etc., are original.
The string guide has been replaced with a Montreux part.
The frets have been replaced with Jescar stainless steel frets.
(No visible wear is apparent.)
The neck joint plate has a V serial number,
but according to experts, because it's from a much older guitar,
at that time, both CS and American Vintage models had V serial numbers, so it's not an issue.
The fretboard has been treated with beeswax annually.
It's not too moist or too dry,
so I believe the condition is good.
For the neck joint screw holes,
because I disliked the rough texture of the wood at the entrance of the holes when tapped with wood screws,
I've smoothed them with wood putty.
(No issues with use.)
The truss rod has plenty of room.
For 10-46 gauge strings,
it can be adjusted for forward bow, straight, and back bow.
There is some indentation on the headstock side of the nut
from the strings.
(No issues with use.)
