With no pictures it's hard to tell, but if it truly has no truss rod, then it is not an authentic Fender product.
A slab fingerboard will not always have a teardrop on the headstock or a skunk-stripe down the back, but there will be an adjustment at the heel under the pickguard.

Pretty rare CB but I have heard they exist. Anythings possible with Yuri and the CS.
I don't think I would buy one though.
Hope the op posts some pics so we can at least ascertain what it is.

When I was 18, I built an esquire clone with no truss rod , tried various finishes and ended up covering it with part of an old fur coat
This is one of my brothers posing with it (no idea why the bottom half of the picture where his right hand is, is distorted......the bottom horn was actually fairly accurate in real life )
Played it for nearly 3 years with no problems, the neck stayed straight
