I was just wondering if there is a standard on when the date is stamped on the neck and when the COA is printed. Is there usually a gap between the neck date and COA date or are they kind of close?

Knowing what we do about the degrees of separation between neck dates and body dates as far as manufacture is concerned, I would bet that the COA is dated on day of final assembly and reflects the serial number on the neck plate For example: the COA on my Gilmour is dated 10/2/08 and was purchased by me on 11/1. I have not found it necessary to pull the neck off that guitar so I am just as interested in the answer to your question.

I guess this is some kind of trade secret... Or there is no standard procedure? I asked the same question a while ago and got no answer.

I find it a bit ridiculous that people take their CS guitars apart after a master builder puts them together to spec. At the customer's request, the builder should take photographs of the guitar information prior to assembly and save a bunch of people the aggravation of disassembling and re-assembling their guitars. Or better yet, forward your insurance company paperwork and have Fender attest to the to serial number and photographs necessary to protect your investment. Of course, this would be done at the customer's expense.

Idea!!
