I am unsure because the headstock decal seems wrong for a '56. Also, the walnut truss rod cover is not present.

looks like a franken strat to me, not a 56' neck, may be a cs 65' maple cap(no walnut plug, 65' decal).Body could be older cs? either way frankstrat IMHO.

Yep for the reasons given plus neck plate usually starts with an R. No cert either and that case does not look tweed. 60s case if it is brown tolex.
I see it has been sold. I think Fender only have stickers on their after market pickups as well. Might be a nice neck regardless. :D
