Fake? Or taken from a CS relic? And where's the serial number?

Cheers

From what I can see, it seems OK. The fact that it is stamped "Relic" doesn't necessarily mean it has come off a Relic. That stamp is used on Time Machines whether they are Relics, C Cs, or NOS.

this neck should have a skunk stripe? I would be careful there seems to be lots of fakes on ebay.

not if it is a early 60s Maple Cap neck. My '64 Relic has one.

Not as straightforward as I thought earlier, either. It's a 22 fret neck too!

tuff one

that's a pretty copy if it's fake, someone went to a lot of trouble

what's with the extra white circling on the neck holes on the left ?
Looks like perhaps washers were under them or something

And some yall are pretty observant, I didn't catch the skunk stripe
or 22 frets, not that those mean it's fake, just sayin

OK thanks. Spotted this on in the Swiss version of eBay.

Cheers
