fretless neck, but what from?

[alyctes]

This is a strange one - at least to me.  It looks as if it's probably decent quality, and seems to have had an eight-bolt neck-to-body fixing?

Is that code for POS ?

 

Pretty collection of centre punch holes on the nut, only someone truly talented or very drunk could make that pattern 😄

Ahhhh - that is more sad than a photo of a discarded, unloved pet, emaciated, and with torn, matted fur and (at least) one limb missing!

 

Is there any part of that neck/headstock which has not been mangled?

 

chipped head and heel; fretless board gouged by wirewounds; (bad) DIY replacement trussplate, so weak it buckled; mooring cleat from a large dinghy, welded at Kwikfit and bolted thro' head; fetching selection of mis-matched tuning heads; useful array of bolt holes from different (temporary) guitar hookups

 

Looks a steal at £128.72 ...do you get a discount for quantity, I wonder?

The way the tuners are fitted remind me of someone’s luthiering style
