Hi! I did a setup on my Johnny Marr Jag this evening. I removed the neck for the first time for a truss rod adjustment, and noticed a big "#11" in the neck pocket.
It was among the other usual names and dates, but way bigger(sorry I forgot to take a picture). I never saw a number like this in my other Fenders.
Could it be the actual number of the guitar in the first batch? Mine was made late January 2012, and I bought it in the beginning of march 2012.

Maybe some of the more illustrious members would know better but I have a feeling it may be the number that the factory uses to identify the 'Jonny Marr' neck.

The necks are custom cut\shaped to the artists precise spec and then for some reason.... Instead of printing Jonny Marr or whoever on the neck, they are assigned a number. This is printed on the Heel of the neck to make it 'quicker/easier' to identify.(rather than trying to identify the Signatures on the headstock)

I could be wrong, but im pretty sure ive seen necks stored in the factory with the heels of the necks facing outwards on the racks.....and im pretty sure I have also seen a Number 'guide' as to who's who on the wall beside a neck storage rack.....

Like I say could be wrong....But maybe not.....
