Found this for sale and I've never seen this logo....most likely too good to be true, but thought I'd ask the experts....

How much is it?

Sure, the logo is wrong and the serial number seems way too low, but that neck pic looks right. The thing looks old, but the pictures are not clear enough to know what we have there.

I don't see the mute and I can't tell if the pickups have the "claws" on them.

Like it, looks cool enough to be picked up, even if it is fake.

A laminated rosewood board with a September '62 neck date?

:roll:

I don't think so.

Actually I would not rule it a fake yet..but "questionable". The logo is all wrong that is for shizzle. However the string tree is in the correct position (granted not confirming much but had it not been there we know a fake neck). As far as the "lamination" I don't see for certain that confirms anything as the pic is lousy and we also do not know if the person who changed the logo decided to do a sloppy clear coat all over or what was done to it since 19 freaking 62. (see pic below I found for a 62 Jaguar neck...looks legit)

Before purchasing that I would want to tear down the body and inspect the body and innards....and also curious what is the asking price?

Nothing pulls a red flag up like $185 bucks....I'm not sure if it's even available, I can't find the post now. Thanks for all the help though.
