i saw a nice relic one for sale but it doesn't have any date stamp at the back of the neck base.
just a " RELIC " carved at the back of the neck base and the custom shop decal at the back of the headstock, is it normal ?

it seems the back of that neck base, where is engraved the word "RELIC" has been sanded, as i looked at several other custom shop relic necks sold as parts and it seems they all have date stamps and names or signatures in that area of the neck ...
also, all still have some nitro finish in that area whereas that CS relic strat neck i saw looks sanded with no more nitro finish at all where you put the 4 screws for the part of the neck that sits in the body's neck pocket , like if the date stamp and builder or control quality signature had been erased.
so, on top of beeig strange, i wonder if the guy might have changed teh profile of the neck base heel , what could make a weird contact with the body !
in another hand, he was selling it through ebay !
