gjones Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) It's not very like a 62 neck, especially with a 70's logo. And that truss rod doesn't look very Fenderish either. Edited October 8, 2013 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It all looks ok, apart from the truss rod, that is just horrific, how would that even fit into a body. At least he's not claiming it to be a Fender neck I suppose.

He's even edited it, to say the neckplate is a V0****** serial number, further adding weight to the fact its a real fender American vintage reissue. Quite shocking. surely no-one will be so dumb as to think a fender neck looks like that?[/size] Edited October 9, 2013 by Rick's Fine '52 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 [quote name='Left Foot' timestamp='1384627503' post='2278955'] Hi Rick, Im not dumb but I wouldn't know the first thing about fender necks. How about sharing your knowledge so its more 'common' and I can feel less dumb. thanks. [/quote] After a previous thread, I googled how to tell a fake Fender. The conclusion I made is that it's very difficult in some cases. A separate neck is easier as you can see things such as the truss rod which are indicative. Similar for the neck pocket. But I found threads on the Fender forum discussing how difficult it was to tell in some situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I wouldn't say its 'my knowledge' that's important here, but a Custom Shop '60's Jazz reissue bass, would have a period correct, flush, crosshead trussrod nut. Not a protruding monstrocity this one has. Google 'fender bass truss rod' on google images, you'll see what I mean. There's other points, but that is so obvious it needs no further evidence to show it's not real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
