That it is a 57' is also very possible.....
I thought the neck picture appeared slightly V shaped.
The neck numbers on the sticker don't match any model numbers I could find.

Quite possible.

The only hallmark detail that actually jives with a '54 edition is the round string tree and that's something that's easily changeable. And a '54 re-issue should rightfully feature the "football" switch tip and "miniskirt" knobs.

The neck shape not a soft “V” or hard “V”,Like a oval C, I feel it's little thiner than USA std Morden "C"

It think it's possible that a previous owner merely changed the string tree on an otherwise-stock '57 AVRI.

According to the Fender service diagram the part number 0053774 shown on the bar code sticker fixed to the neck makes it a '57 AVRI.

I have check the body Part number,it have 3 label
0053808-403
0053808-303
0053808-244

It is a ash body, same to the 57 AVRI

So this is a changed round string tree 57 AVRI ?
Or a 57 neck with 54 body?

Good detective work, I hadn't looked at the spec sheet to confirm the PN.

Another New Question:

There are no found 57 AVRI ASH 2 colors, only Custom & master built

The Doc in 57 AVRI, ASH body part number is same, but 57 only white blonde with ash, 2 Color is Alder

it would be more Percent 54 ash body or 57 ash body?

And i found a 54 pen write in the body back where are near the Tremolo bridge

Based on the recent graffiti all other pen marks should be considered void. :roll:
