Nice use of Poe's law there. Looks more JapCrap than fender to me...

Misleading title yes but he clearly states it's a Squier in the description. Maybe an amended title is in order.

Edit:Just saw the last pic which seems to show the fretboard hanging over the heel of the neck. Is this normal?

Is it me or are the tuner holes too small ? looks like its drilled for the little Goto copies that are on my old Eros.

Decal looks wrong, there was a japcrap Bass that had the fretboard overhang at the heel, but I cant remember what it was, dont think it was Squier though.

the heel join has been done manually and badly by the look of it, if you look closely the radius on each side dont match and its not square across the bottom, it could be a squire neck that s been bodged to fit another body.

Well, the HM/HMT basses had an overhang, as did some of the Plus models, but those were all 22-fret necks. The likes of the HM/HMT models also had small tuners, but those were all three screw fixed. Given how badly aligned the holes for the tuning pegs are, as well as the holes for the tuner backplates, I'd say it's neither fish nor fowl. Neither a Fender nor Squier. It's getting to be the easiest explanation for the con, saying the "fake" Fender neck started life as a Squier, when it's just fake, period.

That isn't even a squier. I'd say its from a Satellite or similair

+1- it looks nothing like a Squier neck to me. Is it me or can I see the outline of the previous decal too?

First photo is of a bass body, but all the others are of another neck, also badged "Fender". The plot thickens.

Badged Fender Stratocaster, to be precise
