How are you. I recently purchased a 1988 "57" vintage reissue Stratocaster that had an original dated(1988) Fender Inspection tag included in the case.
My ? is, when I took the neck off to make an adjustment, there is a clear hand written date at the base/butt of the neck as usual, which reads 05-07-78. I am just trying to find out if I got lucky with a very nice older neck or not lol.
If anyone can help me out with some way of determining exactly what I have here, I would appreciate it very much.
PS:Neck plate shows a V/ 6 digits start up serial number

Thanks,
Jim

With a strat that old you never know if someone changed out the neck years ago. The original might not have felt right or somehow got broken. I doubt there was a neck laying around the factory for ten years before it was put on a new guitar.
