Does anybody know what this label is for on the butt of Fender necks?? It has lines noted 1 thru 7. I have seen it on a few different ones, and don't know what it is there for.

I'm sure the label is just an Q&A sticker. What's more important is that 70226 butt stamp. I'm sitting on 60437 (in Red) and still searching, but I think I'm now in the ballpark. I'm convinced my body was "marked" to be a Hot Rod (based on the neck pocket markings), but ended up being a 3 coil WITH all the goodies. Everything still screams Japanese with a PF fb. The journey continues....

Hey Cazz, it seems you and I have a Mystery Strat on our hands. It is kinda strange that it is hard to pin down what model it is.
I have never seen the combination of features as I have on this guitar. Sometimes I think it is a parts guitar, but then I see similar things(like the neck label) on known Fenders and rethink my opinion.
I know that some music stores(Guitar center, musicians friend) "create" custom guitars to make them more appealing to a perspective buyer. You know, a body from this one, a neck from that one, and there you go. A one of a kind axe. I also know that Fender does limited issue FSR (Fender Special Run) guitars, so who knows.
Have you ever seen a red sparkle finish on a Fender product?
I would love to see a photo of your axe that you refer to. Try to post one so I can see it. Thanks for the info!!!

Hey 5er Driver, if the label on the neck is a .0025 shim, why isn't it square to the neck?? I would think it would have to be flush and straight to get the proper neck angle.
It is so interesting that different players give different answers to the same question.
It's a floor wax. It's a dessert topping. It's a floor wax. It's a dessert topping. It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!!! Vintage SNL

Being facetious again: The neck has a slight twist. The shim was placed at a precisely calculated offset angle to compensate. OK, I'll stop.

PF - Pau Ferro
fb- fretboard.

I doubt if it's Indian, more inclined to believe it's Bacote...if not PF.
