Been through a hell of a lot this neck! still about £200 more than it should be! love the way the seller has worded it to sound like he doesn't know anything about it but really does. Should say 'butchered beyond belief, headstock is 90% original, truss rod probably doesn't work as someone has tried to drill it out, refretted very badly and probably isn;t the best sounding neck I;ve ever heard!'

That's some expensive firewood.

Original?

No 'Looks like' about it - it has. Perhaps the logo part was sawn off to go onto a new neck which replaced this broken one.

I bet he does know & it isn't or he wouldn't have mentioned it

[quote]I can say that out of all the necks I've ever played over the years this is the best sounding neck I've ever owned.[/quote]

[quote]As this is a vintage neck please no returns and being sold as is.[/quote]
I wouldn't want this piece of crap coming back either

Someone with more money than sense has got themselves an ugly ornament.

I don't know my Fenders but even I can see that's not an original Tele neck

I don't see anything wrong with this neck, everything else on the bass has 'issues', but the neck looks fine to me.

Maybe it's my eyes but is the raduis of the fretboard not look a little off centre?[/quote]
I noticed that. Also the skunk stripe looks a bit pist on the pic of the heel.

Fender's infamous mid 70's poor QC i think, I've seen similar (And worse!) before.
