Hello,

I've looked everywhere for information regarding a question I have about a potential guitar purchase, and so far I've been unsuccessful in finding any answers, and figured someone on here may be able to shed some light on it.

Someone has a Stat guitar for sale that he's claiming has a 1965 Fender strat neck. The silver neck plate checks out as a 1965, The confusing part is this guys' story about the date stamped on the butt of the neck, it says: 4JAN65B He claims the guitar neck was originally a Jazzmaster, hence the beggining number being 4 rather than a true strat which begin with the number 2. He says that he's been told that the Jazzmaster neck was cut to look like a stratocaster neck and re-decaled stratocaster. I've seen the the guitar and it is in fact decaled as a stratocaster by Fender at the factory - it looks legit in that respect. Does anyone know if Fender would do something like this, I'm a bit skeptical, but then thought who would transfer just the silver neck plate to another guitar..... I also called Fender this morning and the guy couldn't offer any details on it.

Any thoughts on this guitar's dating or whatever would be greatly apreciated!

Carina

Sounds fishy to me. When in doubt of a guitars authenticity, don't buy it.
