I bought a partscaster off eBay and really love the neck. In case my pics don't work, it looks like this:

It has a 2002 serial number: MZ22326XX, gloss finish top and back, vintage frets, vintage tuners, 1 11/16" or 43mm neck, spaghetti logo, and a beautiful vintage tint. Appears to be a 9.5" radius, definitely not 7" and a "V" shaped contoured neck. Decals say " with synchronized tremelo" and "Original Custom Body" w/ the serial number on back of headstock.

What I've researched so far is that most Mex Re-Issues have the same logo and vintage tint, but are the thinner 1 5/8th, 7" radius.

The 2000 era Powerhouse Strats have a similar neck to mine, but w/o vintage tint or gloss front.

My last guess is that it's a Signature Strat of some kind, mine was advertised as a Robert Cray, but from what I gather those have the thinner, rounder radius as well.

I do desperately want to find another neck like this one. It would help if I could narrow down what model to look for on eBay.

Thanks!

It looks like a MIM '50s Classic Re-issue neck to me.

Which means 21 vintage frets on a 7.25R board, with skunk stripe on the back and heel-adjust truss rod.

The Deluxe Powerhouse necks all say "Deluxe Series" on the headstock decal.

The Robert Crays are all rosewood fretboards with medium jumbos and 9.5" radius.

"Classic Series 50s" is what it looks like to me also. FYI, the term "reissue", or "vintage reissue" is not applicable to any Mex Strats, as there are none.

Thanks Arjay,

Your reply forced me to take another look at the radius. I have a 79 Strat for comparison and you are correct, the neck I'm looking for does have a 7" radius.

Thanks again for your help! Now on to eBay. . .
