I agree. From everything I have researched and what is being said here it has to be a later model neck (62 or 63)on an earlier model body from the 50's.

Thanks for your comments.

The 8 hole scratchplate suggests 50's. Fiesta red is a very very rare colour for 54, if they made them then at all. I thought the options black, white or burst.

Note also the neck hasnt aged the same way as the body. Thats a bit suspicious to my mind.

Looks like its 5 years old, and shines like urethane. Not a played cellulose neck in my opinion. The body looks like its been used to play hockey with. The sharp edge chips aren't too like cellulose either. They certainly dont look like checking which I think they were intended to.

I could be wrong, it can all be explained away easily. However its a bit far fetched that it all happened to one guitar.


From what I can see for the first pic, there seems to be some checking to the finish.

I have to ask about that pickguard assembly- It seems too white

Im thinking, it could even be a '60-62 body, neck- '64 and replaced guard assembly. I would be interested in how many screw holes there are under the guard :) either way- I love that red
